Such a utility has been published by P.Wood & S.Kochan in their book
	UNIX System Security (HaydenBooks, ISBN 0-8104-6267-2)

Long time before having net-access, i typed in this nice utility. It
is a shell script and very sloooow, but it does the job.

As stated in the book, you can order this utility and some others by
mailing your address to phw5!secure. I tried this several times, but
always the mail got bounced somewhere.

If you're interested, send me an e-mail.

Best regards,
Stefan
