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).



Best regards,
 Gabriel
