hi,
Solaris yes.. and DEC UNIX AFAIK. it uses checksums to 
determine trust of files. you set it up to treat files differently  
using  rules.. there also might be a nt version although 
i am not certain of that:-} but it would cost you $$ will no
better results IMHO. as a pretty gui does not secure you from
what occurs under the surface;-)

                                                dreamwvr () dreamwvr com

I assume that Tripwire tracks changes to files.  How does it

for NT Server 4, NT
Workstation 4, DEC Unix, Solaris?

Tripwire will do pretty reasonable job of telling you what's
changed. This
need not be expensive.

After an attack has been discovered, the victim (company)
must
investigate
the damage to the liberated system.  This could involve
manually
checking
all files in all directories for alteration.  Following this,
the
system should
then be checked in order to detect any external copying of
files
(this could
involve the system logs or a network traffic monitor.)

These two activities are expensive.

Scientists have announced discovering a meteorite which will strike the 
earth in March, 2028.  Millions of UNIX coders expressed relief for being 
spared the UNIX epoch "crisis" of 2038.
