You could make a simple script that lists "file" output for all files (just to be sure because of possible suffix renaming) for further inspection. Sometimes, you can also run "strings" for a given file - maybe that can be used to identify typical suspicious string patters for a "strings + grep" combination so less manual identification has to be done. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
