You can also use RPM to check the integrity of your file, especially the
critical binary ones (ie. ls, ps, top, cd, etc.). Look at "man rpm", look at
the option verivy (-V) and Verify all (-Va). It's also explained in RH manual
/ Security guide at www.redhat.com. I think it's under the chapter "RPM as
intrusion detection", or something like that.
