The daily security script checks out the location and
attributes of a bunch of system files.

Although I consider this a site-tailorable file, I think
that the distributed version can be improved. In particular
I suggest that several file entrys are augmented with
an "optional" tag to avoid the following messages on
a system, where I have not installed (or removed) several
files that need not be present:

missing: ./etc/crontab
missing: ./etc/hosts.equiv
missing: ./etc/lkm.conf
missing: ./etc/named.boot
missing: ./root/.klogin
missing: ./root/.rhosts
missing: ./usr/games
missing: ./usr/games/hide
missing: ./usr/src
missing: ./var/account/acct
missing: ./var/spool/ftp/bin/ls
missing: ./var/spool/ftp/etc/group
missing: ./var/spool/ftp/etc/localtime
missing: ./var/spool/ftp/etc/master.passwd
missing: ./var/spool/ftp/etc/passwd
missing: ./var/spool/ftp/pub
missing: ./var/spool/news
missing: ./var/spool/uucp
missing: ./var/spool/uucppublic
