The saga continues...

Now that the file propagation has be solved from the previous thread, FreeRadius Config Propagation, I now need to provide some sanity checking for the interface.

Although, the application I am developing provides a front end for Free Radius user and client configurations, there may be time when the remote file has been changed directly by a privileged user. Although, not foreseeable, this situation is...well, foreseeable, and reasonable steps must be taken to prevent my boss' quick and dirty changes getting fried by a help desk tech >>eek!<<

Is there a module that provides a simple solution to this? Is there a way that this module does not need to suck the remote file down the wire to get it's {cma}times?

Thanks in advance,
amt.
