diff works fine on binary, why shouldn't it? The output is empty or "binary files differ". I never bothered to verify md5 of files reported equal by diff, but I'll try with the next one I make and report back here in the unimaginably unlikely case they have different md5. > Why not just use Aide?

Where do I learn about these mandatory access controls? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuZEIYACgkQ+VSRxYk440+ckACgsCxF9Jx7D4Hb+5Ju1/ChxPcd aoYAoOUGVx43Sb6HOO7az/WajWnA8W+M =7dSD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
