AFICK (Another File Integrity CHecker)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

DETAILS

Afick is a security tool, very close from the well known tripwire. It
allows to monitor the changes on your files systems, and so can detect
intrusions.

Features:
* Portable without any change to all common operating systems (windows,
unix ...)
* Easy install : no need to compile or to install many others tools
* Fast
* Display new/deleted/modified files
* Display dangling links
* May be used by any user
* Any number of base and configuration
* Configuration file with exceptions and jokers
* Configuration file syntaxe close from aide's one
* Command line is perfect on UNIX, but windows users prefer graphical
interfaces, so I add a Tk interface

AFICK designed to be quick and portable. For now, it has been tested on:
* Windows XP, 2000 with ActiveState's ActivePerl
* Linux RedHat (7.1, 7.3)
* Linux Fedora core 1
* linux mandrake (8.2, 9.1, 9.2)
* linux suse Enterprise server 8.0
* Linux Debian (Woody, sarge, Knoopix)
* Linux Slackware (9.1)
* HP Tru64 Unix 5.1B
* AIX 5.2.0

But it should work on any computer with Perl and it's standard modules.
Afick is now composed of 3 different components (packages) :
* afick : the base, command-line tool. This package include afickonfig
too : a tool to help in afick config
* afick-gui : a graphical interface (in Perl/tk)
* afick-webmin : a webmin module, to allow a remote administration, throw
a web browser
