How to check for original file attributes?

[news groups]

Hi,
I'm currently looking for a reference file, probably on the Install CD, containing
all the system files listing with their attributes (file size, CRC, permissions, etc.)
That woud be useful for doing comparisons between a running system and its original
settings.

thanks

I think there is a fresh copy of config files in /usr/newconfig

I agree with Anthony. If you are looking for specific files you can discover them with the find command:

# find / -name hosts
/etc/hosts
/usr/newconfig/etc/hosts

check out in /usr/newconfig for file attributes.

Have you looked at swverify?
