What I was aiming at: Debian has most of this infrastructure already in place: md5sums are mostly there, and the necessary software for signed debs is afaik mostly written. So on every Debian system, you essentially already have 90% of a full-blown file modification detection system. Of course, elf signing, if in the kernel, might have the advantage of not allowing to execute unsigned binaries - but I guess that is not the quick solution to check important system files that you're after. greetings - -- vbi - -- Por la boca muere el pez. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: get my key from http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/92082481 iKcEARECAGcFAkCXPddgGmh0dHA6Ly9mb3J0eXR3by5jaC9sZWdhbC9ncGcvZW1h aWwuMjAwMjA4MjI/dmVyc2lvbj0xLjUmbWQ1c3VtPTVkZmY4NjhkMTE4NDMyNzYw NzFiMjVlYjcwMDZkYTNlAAoJECqqZti935l64rgAoInADIQVd70eWCfaujGuUK8i 7AmDAJ4nrOw2DQLuCrx0C7i1nVUbT16exw== =XVeI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
