Using plaintext passwords in scripts is a no-go for security reasons.
You 'tell your customers' to 'not write down the password' yet 'you' share them with every script?!
Using credentials (per user) gives you more ability to trace which user(-group) has done what.
Unlike as of now, where everyone using the scripts use the same password/login.
You 'save it all', and set the archive flag (is this valid in *nix like systems?)
Afterwards, all you need to do is to list the files without archieve flag, as that should be removed when the file is changed.
I believe rsync has such a function, to just list (not sync) the files different from last run.
That list could be used to figure differences.
If the projecto cos are git or svn, tell them to do 'commits', so you could see in each project the source change.
My 2 cents, hth

nwboprops
NWBOPROPS(1) nwboprops NWBOPROPS(1)
NAME
nwboprops - List properies of a NetWare Bindery Object
SYNOPSIS
nwboprops [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -v ]
DESCRIPTION
nwboprops lists all the properties of the specified NetWare Bindery Objects.
nwboprops looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwboprops
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-o object name
The name of the object to be inspected.
-t object type
The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and
3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications.
-v
By default, only the property name is listed. In verbose mode, activated by -v, the property flag, the property security byte and the
value flag are also listed.
