Here is the first beta version of a brand new security tool:
'checkroot' is the first tool to retrieve fingerprint/gpg-pubkey updates
online and therefore allows a trusted verification of your root file
system roughly based on rpm --verify. Not even debsums can do that.
download: http://wwwu.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/estellnb/checkroot/
It can serve as a pre-replacement for feature #306508:
https://features.opensuse.org/306508.
Besides this it may be a good example for the usage of private/public
gpg keys (edu-purposes).
Feedback welcome. Further testing required.
