Patrick,

One suggestion is to run a hash against all the files in the TCB which sysck
would report against: /etc/security/sysck.cfg.

You can use tripwire off the BULL or UCLA site and it uses several or any
combination of hashes.

It maintains it's own database and has several levels of reporting.

It does md5 (signature1) and it accomplishes what you are trying to do.

There is a supported more robust commercial version too if you really like
it and have a budget.

I have md5 and I can run it against any file. But what is the protocol?
Should I do an MD5 check on most of the rootvg files? That seems like a big
job, doing an md5 and then diffing that report with the MD5 results from the
day before.

Are people doing MD5 checks out there on a daily basis? How are you doing
it?

TIA!
