Monitor user actions in a Directory

[chrislynch8]

Hi,

We have a shared directory that is very important, lately strange things have been happening, users claiming file are missing etc. All permissions are OK, and as far as I can see files are not going missing.

I look for ether a program out there all ready, or guidlines on a script that will monitor the dates and times a user accesses this directory, if they create a new file, remove an old one etc.

Any pointers in the write direction wouldbe great.

Have a look at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/li...ify/index.html

or http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-i...e-directories/

those should get you started "in the right direction". Others may have a more direct solution.
