You can fine when the change has happened from the last C/A time in the file timestamp
But you cannot (in a normal file) find out what changes have been made.

compare to your system backups from before the change was mande ;-)

My solution:

Use cron to make copy of httpd.conf e.g. on every one hour, than you could compare copyied file with original file.

Is it someone in house that made the change and it's fine ? or are you wanting a way to monitor the server for any file changes and prevent them (AIDE, fcheck, afick, samhain)

Thank
 

I was haired one command found in linux by that command you can check what changes was done last time. I am looking for this command.
but now i am reading for AIDE and other tool which is mention in your post

Thank

see also tripwire

The reason I didn't mention tripwire is that the open source versions last release was in 2007..

Since development of the Open source version of tripwire seems to have stalled I would recommend going with a more active project, unless you plan on using the commercial version of tripwire..

NIS Related Query
 

Hi Everyone,

I world like to know something about NIS server.

Recently i have configured NIS MASTER and SALVE in our environment. I have created users on NIS master and able to login on NIS master and NIS client but not on NIS SALVE(Already updated database /usr/lib64/yp/ypinit -s NISMASTERSERVERNAME).

Second thing i would like to know, if Master NIS will be down then can i reset users password from NIS SALVE server.

Thanks
Vinay Charles
