Linux Software Map: FAD Tools

  • Version: 3.3
  • Entered-date: 1999-01-15
  • Description: A collection of Perl scripts for manipulating FAD files. FAD files are similar to HP-UX's PDF files; they record the attributes of a collection of files (owner, group, mode, CRC, etc). Tools are available to make, compare and concatenate FAD files. There is also a sysadmin tool to monitor filesystem changes on a day by day basis, providing tamper checking and a reminder about those changes you forgot to enter in the system changes log. Requires Perl 5 (including two CPAN modules), GNU make. Latest version and unpacked documentation available at
