Summary: provide boot cd to md5sum core system files Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: ---

Provide a boot cd that downloads and compares the md5sums of all relevant core files in order to check them (for the current update-state of the system). Programs like chkrootkit or rkhunter can only check for a certain number of known rootkits, slightly modified ones can not be detected.
i.e. provide a program like debsums for OpenSuse and also provide a ready-to-download iso image because a cracker can alter debsums or susesums as well.
Reproducible: Always
