"tripwire"

I have been wondering if there are any public, searchable  databases
of MD5 (and/or other reliable digests) checksums of the generic ships-
with-the-OS utilities?

Pool our tripwire databases together??? I'd like to see if some kids
figure out a way to make their rootkit'ed version fit _one_ of the
"ok" MD5's - random chance? :-{
