Is there such a thing as a tracking program for modifiying files?
"What the hell does he want?" you ask? The other day I installed something and it screwed up a file. I don't know what file, but I would have liked to know. My question is if there is someway that I can keep track of what files (config files, etc...) are modified and by who and when? This way I can see what files have been modified as of XX date, or who has modified what files. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

I plan on trying out tripwire on my test box this weekend. Can you please provide more details as to how the suse package of tripwire is broken? Thanks.

This way I can see what files have been modified as of XX date, or who has modified what files. That is one thing I miss from VMS days. The VAX VMS kept versions so you could always go back one or more. That might be an interesting
