Re: [IUG] III System watch

[Adam Brin <abrin at brynmawr dot edu>]

The latter possibly, the former no.  This is really a systems level tool 
that is intent on detecting intrusions or changes to files/applications.  

Alternately, you might also look at 'logwatch' a script that runs and 
reports on system usage (logins, etc) and standard on most RedHat boxes 
(don't know about solaris).  It would show you who's accessed the system 
and if they ran as sudo what they did.

In short, there's no tool that's going to audit system changes at the III 
level, at best, you're going to have tools that report back hints about 
something being done on a given file and by whom.

I wonder if III has a way such as in wiki where I got an email alert every time a change has been made to pages I am "watching". In our case, I will be "watching" the whole ILS system.> > Is it achievable?> > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Said Shafik Library Systems Manager Drexel University Libraries Philadelphia, PA 19104-2875 Phone: 215.895.1832 Fax: 215.895.2070 http://www.library.drexel.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> > _________________________________________________________________> > Boo!
