compare directories on two servers
We are migrating from one server to another. We have encountered problems during testing where some files are missed in the restore and/or permissions do not get restored correctly.
I have been manually checking these items in directories, but its a big system. And this is just the test phase. I don't want to spend hours doing this on the live migration schedule.
I would like to be able to compare like name directories between the two servers.
I have been writing a script to go to the directories and loop through down to file names to create list files, then comparing the list files. I am hoping maybe there is an easier way.
didnt know what to search for in the forums, because maybe its not ftp I really want to use. ?
We are using legatto restore to advfs file systems on digital unix 4.0D. Any thinking out of the box on this???
thanks!

Hi,
I've two Solaris 10 installed with jumpstart about 3 month ago.
Now, I need to compare the both servers to see if all the configurations, installed software and so on are identical.
How to proceed? Should I check each file with diff or is it a quicker solution?
Best regards,

dh_fixperms
DH_FIXPERMS(1) Debhelper DH_FIXPERMS(1)
NAME
dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_fixperms [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem]
DESCRIPTION
dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for setting the permissions of files and directories in package build directories to
a sane state -- a state that complies with Debian policy.
dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode 644. It
also changes the permissions of all man pages to mode 644. It makes all files be owned by root, and it removes group and other write
permission from all files. It removes execute permissions from any libraries, headers, Perl modules, or desktop files that have it set. It
makes all files in the standard bin and sbin directories, usr/games/ and etc/init.d executable (since v4). Finally, it removes the setuid
and setgid bits from all files in the package.
OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from having their permissions changed. You may use this option multiple
times to build up a list of things to exclude.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
