Re: keeping checksums of every file installed

# Hi!

# I´ll soon have to give out the root-pw of one of my boxes temporarily,

#  but I´m a little paranoid...
# 
# Does anybody know of some program/script that could make checksums of
#  each&every file installed and keeping this list somewhere safe so
that
#  I can compare it when I take the password away from my colleague to
#  make sure there´s no trojan or something installed?
# 
# (The joke is that there´ll be a security audit and they want to have 
#  the root-pws for that...)

I think something along the lines of;

find ./ -type f | xargs md5sum > outputfile.txt

Would work. Later, do the same, and then 'diff -u outputfile.txt
newoutputfile.txt', to see the differences.
