mtree vs tripwire

[D J Hawkey Jr]

Hi all.

This might seem really naive, but can mtree be used effectively as
a native-to-core-OS tripwire equivalent? Would it be as efficient in
terms of time-to-run and resource requirements?

What sort of pitfalls should I be aware of?

Has anyone here done this? If so, would you care to share your
scripts/techniques?

Thanks,
Dave
