To all netnews readers, We have persistent problems with sloppy roots dropping junk files into system directories, and the occasional operator "rm *" problems. We'd like to detect and correct. I'm looking for a software program - which I've heard of, but don't know the name - which will run (e.g.) once a week, and report on any changes made to a list of "system" directories (whose contents we try to keep clear of local code & files). We reserve /usr/local/{etc,bin,lib...} for locally-added commands,files,packages. I'm about to write this program unless I can locate it on the net - just the convenience at upgrade time will justify the effort... -David P.
