That's one of the nice things about using tripwire for this -- you don't have to know in advance what got changed. tripwire does a snapshot of the whole system, so when you get some lame package that dumps files in /lib or other unexpected places, or you need to edit a file in /etc or something, you don't have to track down everything. -- db
