If you do monthly root password changes this is going to send your entire estate red surely as the MD5 will change?

    Gavin,

    Use the FILE client check to determine and possibly alert when a
    file (/etc/passwd) has been changed.

        Hi All,
                       I am having a problem where users and groups
        are being created without the knowledge of the admin team
        and its making it difficult to know who had access to what
        systems if they leave the company... is there a way for
        hobbit to tell me when the /etc/passwd or /etc/group files
        change? Thanks in Advance..

        -Gavin

Hi,

In client-local.cfg :
[your_host]
file:/etc/passwd
in hobbit-clients.cfg :
HOST=your_host
FILE /etc/passwd red MD5=9780JNLKNoiulknaée2

Those settings should do exactly what you need

Yes, of course every authorized changes in /etc/passwd MD5sum must be passed to hobbit-clients.cfg
