Russell makes a good point. One of the first things I did was
compare the operating system to the previous night's backup,
made with dirvish/rsync. Unfortunately, the root directory node
itself does not get backed up exactly (it is named [xxx]/tree
in the backups).
While the cryptographic hashes stored by tripwire are indicative
of changes, they are not as foolproof as an actual comparison to
the previous day's bytes. I used to use tripwire before I went
to full daily backups with rsync. Though as you can see, nothing
is 100.00% foolproof.
More on backups and rsync in a subsequent message.
