RE: File Integrity Monitoring

I've produced a variation on the file integrity theme with a Unix shell script.
The product is called 'zlister'.
It was designed to satisfy a need and not necessarily the same need with bells
and whistles like tripwire.
The tool is a primary csh script supported by a number of awk scripts.  No need
to compile anything.  Designed to
efficiently execute on any Unix platform, build file system listings and
differentiate across runs what's changed
within the filesystem (not their contents).  CRC/MD5 values are an optional
characteristic.  Once ran, any file
in the file system can be 'found' in seconds with full path and associated
details (a la 'ls').  Older versions
exist on the net today, its not a tool for sale.  I freely share it for
everyone's benefit.  I tweak it and update
it as my time permits.  It functions on Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, DEC, AIX---don't
know about SGI or CRAY as I've
never been able to touch one (anyone GOT an SGI or CRAY) and wanna give these a
test run and show me the results?

I've been adding some functionality recently to accommodate RHEL AS4 and Sun
Solaris 10 (open, commercial and SPARC).
Once I've completed these recent mod's I'd be happy to share the new version.
Older ones can be found by standard
yahoo searches for zlister.  My preferred site that I share with is
'metalab.unc.edu', so supporting them is a
good achievement I appreciate.

I am looking for a File Integrity Monitoring solution and currently looking at
Tripwire. Does anyone know of any similar or better solution?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
