New policy for tripwire

[David Hampton]

This is written on an FC3 base system using the selinux-policy-strict-
sources-1.22.1-2 policy from March 11th.  These are the first policies
I've submitted so I'd appreciate any comments on how to write better
policies.

Executable types in .fc files should be marked with --.  It makes setfiles run 
faster and also avoids bad policy being written when the executable gets 
replaced with a symlink or something else strange happens.

Labelling a binary in /usr/sbin as bin_t makes no sense.

I don't think that there's any need for so many domains.

Also tripwire domains probably don't make any sense.  If you are serious about 
tripwire then you should boot from removable media to run it.  Anyone who can 
crack a SE Linux system can surely sort out the tripwire database.
