Tripwire reports daily changes of webmin files, is that correct?

Hi,

I'm working on securing my servers and installed tripwire recently in order to watch for changing files.

In the nightly scan I get a lot of changed files like these: "/etc/webmin/apache" "/etc/webmin/apache/site" "/etc/webmin/security-updates" "/etc/webmin/security-updates/current-all.cache" "/etc/webmin/security-updates/current.cache" "/etc/webmin/security-updates/updates.cache" "/etc/webmin/status" "/etc/webmin/status/fails" "/etc/webmin/status/history"

My guess is this is just fine, but I want to double check if this is correct so I can exclude this etc/webmin/ folder.

Thanks!

The following will surely change almost daily since they are cache files and status logs. No idea with the rest.

"/etc/webmin/security-updates/current-all.cache" 
"/etc/webmin/security-updates/current.cache" 
"/etc/webmin/security-updates/updates.cache" 
"/etc/webmin/status" 
"/etc/webmin/status/fails" "
/etc/webmin/status/history"
