Begin3 Title: zlister Version: 1.4 Entered-date: 18MAY96 @ 17:50 EDT Description: Combination of csh and awk scripts designed to manage the collection, compression, differentiation and storage of complete filesystem listings. It is an administrative support tool that will identify changes to any file in the filesystem. When executed on a frequent basis (i.e. daily), the resulting .diff output can provide invaluable clues to system/security administrative personnel as to EVERY file which changes on the system listed. In conjunction with frequent (daily) system backups, the potential for any form of data loss can be significantly reduced. Of course, the benefits will be maximized with appropriate attention to the output. This is an ideal product to execute on newly built and/or rebuilt production servers to get/establish/document the baseline of the complete filesystem. Subsequent runs will highlight differences. Especially benificial to be ran after a filesystem check (fsck) has been run and significant errors were reported/corrected. Copious documentation and installation instructions are provided in the primary 'zlister' script. These scripts were designed to execute, without modification, on Solaris (V: 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5), HP-UX (V: 9.0.01 - 10.0) and under all versions of Linux (V: 1.1.59+). I'm very interested in feedback from implementator(s) on other *NIX platforms. Unfortunately, my internet email address will cease to exist after 96 Jun 30. At that time I will only have snail mail available to me :( at: DP1 Joe Wulf USNS Spica (T-AFS 9) FPO AP 96678-4066 I'm looking for people willing to help me manage this project and edit the scripts to get them to work on their platform. If you are interested in doing this, please write me and let me know what plaform (and version of unix).
