I probably have to rephrase it - we want to install same package on server and in "shadow" rpmdb (reminder - we do central package distribution - control server pushes packages to local servers). This way if system is tampered we can burn rpmdb on CD, and check whole system for changed files etc. Something like Tripwire ;) Plus we can keep track of packages on the server so it's easy to rebuild/duplicate server in case of emergency. - -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/OR5OyDrVuGfS98QRAhg8AKCvYQqSjRvW2+EBlRZBeo/3uQAvBgCgqkw1 Dn8RzGCqbuCcw4XZrEwh/PM= =y6ob -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
