    Integrity of EBS patches

    How do you ensure that your EBS patches have not been altered in any way since downloading from support?

    Doesn't that depend on who has access to your servers and patch directories? If someone
    un-tared and re-tared a tar file the date should change, hence you would know to download
    a fresh version. Are you concerned that someone is trying to edit EBS patches that have
    already been downloaded?

    You can also download another copy of the file and use diff to see if there are differences.
