💡 Idea for a debugging script 💡

This might already exist for FreeBSD, and if so.. let me know!

1. keeps record of OS core/default settings: loader.conf, rc.conf, sysctl.conf, devfs.rules, login.conf etc
1. keeps record of file checksum on those OS core files (similar to the app, tripwire)
1. mode which shows divergence on current state vs known-default state in configs (1) and checksums (2)
  -4) mode which tracks the files and their change-sets over time, similar to a zfs snapshot but at a single file-level

@[email protected] @[email protected] Yes, the problem is that this will give changes for the entire boot environment (see problem previously mentioned) when you actually just want config file changes and rollback.
