-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello Alexander, Thursday, July 26, 2001, 7:42:32 PM, you wrote: >> I interpret this like it's good for monitoring single vnodes, but >> not entire filesystem. > Yes, you have to walk through the entire FS and request a > notification for every file or directory.

Jonathan, we are talking about > soft-realtime mirroring of an entire FS (or doing something like > realtime-tripwire). I'd very much like to see such a feature. Even better would it be, if it were possible to also capture permission changes in the same go. I've been thinking about whether it would make sense to just patch libc to log this kind of stuff? Or are there other interfaces that speak to the system calls directly so that it would be needed to patch those instead? Anyway, this is nothing I'd be greedy to do as it can result in big amounts of really serious troubles (especially as my C knowledge is virtually zero).
