Hey everyone, |

OpenBSD has some pretty cool stuff built in for integrity checking. I |
| 4 |
recently did a Gentoo install and haven't noticed anything like what |
| 5 |
OpenBSD is doing. Forgive me if I'm wrong in assuming Gentoo has |
| 6 |
nothing like that. |

Anyway, my point is, it would be nice if Gentoo came with something |
| 9 |
similar to what OpenBSD has. It's like tripwire, but stripped down and |
| 10 |
built into cron right from the get go to check your system for file |
| 11 |
changes. As Gentoo is going down the path of making things more secure |
| 12 |
out of the box (with the removal of setuid on things as an example) I |
| 13 |
think we could benefit from something like this. I know cron isn't a |
| 14 |
required install, but would it be possible to have something be ready |
| 15 |
to go once a cron daemon was installed? |

This isn't a clear idea yet, more of a brain fart so please pick it |
| 18 |
apart. |
