The /etc/security script is a good place to start for an example of
automated checks for file system mods. The task you describe will most
likely require writing a shell script that uses find(1). I'm not sure
what your ultimate goal is, but an md5(1) check may be more reliable
than a simple ctime check for tracking file mods.

You may also want to check ports/security to see if one of those
packages will do what you need.

Good luck.
