We run md5sums on all system binaries on our Debian servers and tar the actual binaries to a file and then burn everything to CD with other data about the server for security reasons. Do any other Debian users do this? Is it worth the effort? Is this too paranoid? Below are the commands we use to do this: cd /bin md5sum * | mail -s "md5sums on pine from bin" admis@email.edu tar cvzpf bin.tar.gz && mv bin.tar.gz /root
