I'm currently working on a tripwire-231 port.  It compiles and runs on 
FreeBSD using native FreeBSD binaries.  I'm about 30% complete on a 
FreeBSD-specific policy file.  The policy file shipped with the source 
is RedHat-specific:  Many binaries that exist on RedHat do not exist on 
FreeBSD and vice versa.  Also many binaries on RedHat that reside in 
/bin, /sbin, and /lib reside in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/lib.  I 
must say that I'm discovering some of the esoteric bits and pieces of 
both RedHat and FreeBSD in the translation process.

If people want, I could shortcut the whole process by creating a 
generic policy file similar to the generic nature of the tripwire-131 
policy file.  This would give us a tripwire-231 port now and an updated 
tripwire-231 port with a FreeBSD-specific policy file later when I've 
completed building the FreeBSD policy file.  If people see value in 
this, I will do it.
