An idea that could be a possible solution for trojan files on ftp archives. Modify archie to do checksums for files on their sites that they are keeping updates with. Maybe if the checksum changes for the same file from archives from place to place, it would indicate possible trojan. I dont see how a cracker/intruder could install trojans on all the ftp sites that contain that file. I think more people would use archie's with this feature over the old one, if they knew they were definitely getting files that havent been tampered with. I do not know who is updating and working on archie, but maybe this can be forwarded to them for adding to their Todo list. -- Christopher William Klaus <cklaus@shadow.net> <iss@shadow.net> Internet Security Systems, Inc. 2209 Summit Place Drive,Dunwoody GA 30350-2430.
