audit modification of file

Hi,

I need to be able to log modifications to any files contained in two file systems on my server (/data1 and /data2). I would like to exclude one specific user id from being logged or audited.
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

Re: audit modification of file


What product do you plan on using to monitor file modifications?

What OS?

What kind of files are these?

Hi,

you'll need a "trusted" system.
Then you can use the "audit" commands to enable auditing on on file I/O for everybody except that one user - but for ALL files/filesystems :-(
Then you'll have to filter the logs for the files you are interested in...

FWIW,
