ok awhile ago I emailed the list asking if anyone had a fix for tripwire on the
netbsd sparc port, it seems to seg fault core dump.  A few ppl expressed
intrest in howto fix it but none had, either had time to work on it or bothered
that informed me.  I too didn't have time until recently and not much at that. 
I spent about 2 hours on tripwire (Sun4c machine) tring to figure out why it's
coredumping.  I have since come to the conclusion.. I have no clue why :) hehe

I removed the -O flag for compilation and replaced it with -g for debugging
here is what I found (not much but hey, I actaully was thinking this could be a
compiler problem?? comments?)

The seg fualt is coming from utils.c 
function direntry_print()
(this line actually)
(void) printf(" %-9.9s %7d %s", owner, statbuf.st_size, a_time + 4);

before this line I added some debugging code (fprintf's)
This is the modified block I was using
        (void) strcpy(a_time, ctime(&statbuf.st_mtime));
        a_time[24] = '\0';
        fprintf(stderr,"ATIME= %s\n", a_time + 4);

        print_perm((uint32)statbuf.st_mode);

        fprintf(stderr, " OWNER = %-9.9s \n", owner);
        fprintf(stderr, "statbuf.st_size = %7d", statbuf.st_size);
        (void) printf(" %-9.9s %7d %s", owner, statbuf.st_size,
                                                a_time + 4);

Now the fprintfs I have in there are working fine, and all the strings are null
terminated etc... gdb values <here>
2: a_time = "Thu Jun 29 14:39:05
2000\000\000Â\000\000\000çè\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\e\000\000\000\000\000\00
0\000\000\000"
1: owner = "root", '\000' <repeats 15 times>
4: statbuf.st_size = 27

here is a short bt output i was using any other info needed I would be glad to
provide.
