- Yes, COPS (Computer Oracle and Password System) is available via anon ftp from
- cert.sei.cmu.edu(128.237.253.5) in /pub/cops as cops.tar.Z. According to the
- documentation, "COPS is a static security checking tool that checks common
- procedural (non-bug) problems of a Un*x system. It basically takes a snapshot
- of a system, and then generates a report of it's findings."
-
- Ive used it for about 3 months now with no problems.

- Good Luck,
