Package: diffmon (20020222-9.1)

Tool for reporting changes in system configuration

This tool is run by a nightly cron job, and takes a `diff' of specified system configuration files and emails them to a specified email address. Options to diff can be specified. This is useful in friendly environments where there are multiple sysadmins working on configuration files/setups and everyone's changes are reported. CVS is a better answer, but the most of people don't want to have the hassle of putting system files in a repository.
