samhain is a file and host integrity and intrusion alert system
suitable for single hosts as well as for large, UNIX-based networks.
samhain offers advanced features to support and facilitate
centralized monitoring.</p>
<p>The client (or standalone) part is called samhain, while the
server is referred to as yule. Both can run as daemon processes.</p>
<p>Most of the options require being defined at compile time, is
easy to start with basic and then compile as more features are
required.</p>

<dd>No modifications will be reported. However, the existence of the
specified file or directory will still be checked.</dd>

<dd>All modifications, including access time, but excluding ctime, will
be reported - checking atime and ctime would require to play with
the system clock.</dd>

<h2 id="updatedb">2.2.4.2. Update database</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.la-samhna.de/samhain/manual/updating-the-file-signature-database.html">Manual</a>,
You can update the database while the daemon is running, as long
as you don't interfere with its logging. Using flag -l like this
samhain -t update -l none make sure the log file is not accessed.</p>
<pre>
# samhain -t update -l none --interactive
</pre>
<p>Interactive update are supported with the command line flag
--interactive. A file with a list of good files, absolute path,
one per line, can be passed with flag --listfile. Example;</p>
<pre>
# samhain -t update -l none --listfile=/root/list_of_files
