[ale] File Integrity Check

[Russell.Enderby at arris-i.com (Russell Enderby)]

In pursuit of determining critical system files for modifications I was
thinking the checksum prog 'sum' would be sufficient.  Understanding
that time,date, and file size can be modified under the ext2fs/ufs
directory table.  Is it possible to also make the 'sum' checksum appear
to be correct?

I was under the impression tripwire uses its own special checksum prog
to verify files, although would 'sum' be sufficient as well?  If not
does anyone know of better more thorough checksum app?

Thanks much,
Russell
