systraq - 20201231-1 main

Systraq weekly sends you an email listing the state of your system.
Furthermore, if critical files have changed, you'll get an email within a
shorter notice. Systraq consists of few very small shell scripts.
.
It can help you implementing a not too strict security policy. For more
demanding systems, you'd better use something like tripwire or tiger. Make
sure you really want to do the monitoring this script offers: it might not
comply with your site's privacy policy. Getting informed when users' config
file change might be too intrusive.
.
Other similar tools are available in Debian (`diffmon' for instance), but
systraq is less intrusive because it can warn for file changes without mailing
a complete diff (which is not desirable for e.g. /etc/shadow).
