My idea is further explained at http://flog.uncontrolled.org/. In a nutshell tho, basically im looking to modify the linux kernel and have a file descriptor in /proc which could be tail -f'd and see any read,write,access, or deletion of files, who did it and what time, in real time. I dont know how hard or easy this would be. If you can offer any support in doing this, or know of elsewhere someone already has done this, please email me. Thank you, benb at uncontrolled.org
