Actually I just did like David Harris suggested and kept a filelist
with md5sums off-site. I compared this to a newly made and found no
differences (other than the obvious log-files et al).
As this was only a single occurrence and there´re no other acounts on
the machine tripwire would´ve been kind of overkill...
Thanks to all for your help!
