It appears to be, the tar file is an exact match to the debian master file
used for debians fcheck package, except they changed the name slightly...

(FCheck_2.07.59.tar.gz vs. fcheck_2.7.59.orig.tar.gz)

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fcheck/fcheck_2.7.59.orig.tar.gz

The netscape link seems to be gone rather than dead....

PS: there doesn't seem to be an rpm for this program, and debian has it in
unstable/testing , so you have fair warning, on the other hand, it's just
a giant perl script, so i doubt you really need an rpm to install it, just
read the install notes and copy it to the appropriate place and configure
it..

for the lost: fcheck is a stripped down GPL'd tripwire type program
