To quote Robert Waldner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # # Hi! # # I´ll soon have to give out the root-pw of one of my boxes temporarily,
# but I´m a little paranoid... # # Does anybody know of some program/script that could make checksums of # each&every file installed and keeping this list somewhere safe so that # I can compare it when I take the password away from my colleague to # make sure there´s no trojan or something installed? # # (The joke is that there´ll be a security audit and they want to have # the root-pws for that...) I think something along the lines of; find ./ -type f | xargs md5sum > outputfile.txt Would work. Later, do the same, and then 'diff -u outputfile.txt newoutputfile.txt', to see the differences.
