The only advantage I can think of to using the freeware version of Tripwire is incremental updates of your filesystem databases, vs having to recreate the whole thing after allowed modifications. That is probably a good thing on an old box. Otherwise, an mtree -c / -f combo works dandy, especially when the snapshots are stored on a remote box and compared over ssh. -- Mahlon Smith System Administrator InternetCDS http://www.internetcds.com On Sun, Aug 19, 2001, Frank Sonnemans wrote: > > I found several utilities in the ports collection which can detect changes > to files.
