On a redhat/fedora system, rpm can tell you what files have changed, and have configuration files marked. So if you run: % rpm -Va | grep ' c ' # that's <space><letter c><space> it will give you a list of all of your config files that you've modified. Running the verify over your entire machine takes a while, because it's doing sha1 and md5 sums of all files but is a useful command (works as a poor mans tripwire as well). - Rob .
