    I am currently undertaking security audit for an company running IBM AIX.
    What is an easy way to ascertain when the last patch update or change to the OS was made.
    Intention being to ensure that an spurious / illegal change to the OS was not made.

    lppchk -c does a checksum comparison of files on disk against the SWVPD contents. If this is an ongoing effort, Tripwire can help monitor unplanned changes. You might also try:
    lslpp -qh bos.mp64
    This isn't definitive, but will give you a history of changes to the base OS.
    Hope that helps.
