The newest debsums from Sid can do a daily check for md5 disagreement. Useful for security?
This check flags a load of missing files which are either obsolete -- maybe I once had 'em but they are long gone -- or ... I never had 'em. Two prime examples: The former, Sun Java 1.5 stuff. Has been superseded by 1.6 and this was always be Sun's installation rather than anything from Debian. The latter /usr/loca/Adobe . . . acrobat stuff. I never had a local version. Most entries seem to be internationalization stuff. There is a (now empty) /etc/debsums-ignore. If this can be set to exclude directories, I can easily suppress the check on these files. Question is where the program gets the info to look for them in the first place? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
