Oy, but you've got to use the potentially infected program to make use
of sanity.ex! Ever see the login trojan compiled into the compiler? Sweet
stuff. Anyhow, maybe you should just post the actual checksums of these files
-- or better yet, thier md5 signatures. It's fairly easy to produce the same
checksum if you know what you're doing (so I am told). MD5 however isn't easy
at all. In fact, I've seen people use MD5 sigs in thier password files instead
of simply crypt()ing the passwords. This way, a totally different program could
be used to check.
        I know that this could be overboard, but I don't let anything slip with
security. 'Sides, this is the standard way to do it.
