Hello maintainers of the modulelist, I'm Michael Witthaut. I study Information technologies at the Berufsakademie Mannheim Germany. I've written a script, that audit objects in Windows NT 4.0 file system and registry and I'd like to contribute this script to the CPAN archieve. Name: Michael Witthaut Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] preferred user-ID: WITTHAUT Description: INTEGRITY, a change detection and integrity checking for Windows NT The program takes a snapshot of objects in the filesystem or registry of Windows NT 4.0 that a specified in a configuration file. It audits the valuenames and values in the registry and size, content, date of the last modification and other properties of the specified files. The next time you run a check the current system is compared to the existing database in order to detect any changes. If there are any changes they are reported in a file and to the Windows Nt EventLog. This allows you to integrate this Skript into a network management system. For example TransView or Tivoli audit the EvntLog of many machines and can alarm the administrator if integrity has detected any changes to the specified objects. Other integrity checking software like tripwire or intact which are very expensive, abou $500 per licence, are very conplex and do not provide any information about how the registry has changed. My program can do that and it is easily controlled with a command line interface and a configuration file. Please tell me if it is necessary to dicuss it publicly. It's only dicussed with some NT administrytors in the company I'm working for in the moment. Is it possible to contribute it to the CPAN archieve or do you think there is no need for such a tool in the CPAN? If you like to test the program I will send the source and a documentation to you. Pleas answer me question. I like to thank you for your interest. Yours faithfully Michael Witthaut
