Tripwire could be useful for this. However, if it is only a few files, I just suggest a cron job to rsync them from the master copies regularly. Or, if you don't want automatic changes, a simple script to compare hashes with the master, using ssh access and a pass- phrase-less key that can only run your hash script/program. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
