Well, that'll teach me to open my mouth.... :-) I've gotten preliminary *.md5 file checksumming put into Oxygen's package handling system. The files are included in the packages in the path of: /var/lib/lrpkg/<pkg>.md5 and are created during the package creation process automatically. These package files are checked when "apkg -v <pkg>" is used, and also are checked during installation. In both cases, the checksum for <pkg>.md5 is skipped; after all, what IS the checksum for a file being created while checksumming? That's like trying to put a key signature on a key signature on a key signature... The only package handled differently is root.lrp, since the root.list file doesn't really contain files to include but permits the system to catch files that are NOT included. You really don't want to checksum the entire system - not yet anyway. This also hints at the fact that the "exclude" files are NOT checked during md5sums; anything listed in <pkg>.list is checksummed, even if it is contained in a <pkg>.exclude ... I'll have to think about that... I guess the next thing is to create a mini-tripwire :-) using md5sums. Hmmm.... find / | md5sum > sys.md5sum ...hmmm.... -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Linux, Unixware [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
