I have tried for quite some time now to work out a shell script on these lines. Actually came across this problem when i was going throught the commonly found abs-guide exercises
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/abs-gui...ngscripts.html


The script is to do the following:
********************************************
Log all accesses to the files in /etc during the course of a single day. This information should include the filename, user name, and access time. If any alterations to the files take place, that should be flagged. Write this data as neatly formatted records in a logfile.
*******************************************

Any help to get going in this direction will be great!

Thanks a lot
