I am a little off from using tripwire these days... when I last looked
at it, it didn't seem to be getting much support upstream (last
release over a year ago)... and the bugs have been open/unassigned for
that a year. The system that comes with RHEL-5 is called aide and is
getting active support from the Red Hat developers on getting it tied
into a centralized plugin structure using prelude and snort. Just
using the normal aide seemed to fit the bill that is needed.

However if tripwire is required for audit/checklist reasons:

Which version of CentOS are you using? The upstream kernels have had
issues at different points with NFS performance (the 2.6.18 had a
bunch of problems that were fixed in 2.6.20-22 time frame and have had
to be backported.. then there were changes and breakage somewhere
after that.. ) I normally try a set of comparisons:

1) What does CentOS-4 do? What does CentOS-5 do? 4 may actually be
faster than 5 in some cases due to switch/card issues.
2) Then there are issues with TCP, size of frames, etc...

The main issue seems to be cost of porting fixes and Xen itself to
newer kernels. The fact that Xen did not get into mainstream kernel
made the costs higher and higher. KVM got into mainstream kernel and
thus has more eyes on it.
