       This manual page was written by Sergio Talens-Oliag <sto@debian.org>, for  the  Debian  GNU/Linux  system
       (but may be used by others).

                                                    June 2001                                        FILETRAQ(8)

       Right  now,  it  doesn't  take  care  of its backups very well.  The dated backups will accumulate in the
       backups directory, bounded only by diskspace.

       It only handles text files, it isn't a Tripwire replacement for use with system binaries.

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the filetraq command.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       FileTraq is a shell script that reads a list of files to watch, runs  diff  against  each  file  and  its
       backup, and reports any discrepancies, along with keeping a dated backup of the original.

       It's designed to be run as a cron job.

/etc/filetraq.conf/etc/default/filetraq/var/lib/filetraq

       filetraq - keep track of changes in config files.

       This command has two possible invocations, one with one option:

       --help Show summary of options and the default values of the config file and the backup directory.

       and other with no options, a config file or a config file and the backupdir.

       The  script  reads  the  /etc/default/filetraq configuration file, that lets the administrator change the
       default values of the config file ( file ), the backup directory ( backupdir ), the diff options used  to
       print  the  filetraq  output  (  diffopts , e.g.  -p-C1 or -u ) and the diff order ( difforder , either
       newold (FileTraq default before version 0.3) or oldnew (traditional Unix default)).

       FileTraq is not well tested or hardened.  It runs as root, but all of its config  files  should  only  be
       accessible by root.  No security holes are known at this time, but please be careful.
