I made mods to AT&T's sysmon for DMDs to do this.  It just built an inode
list at startup, and every minute poked into /dev/kmem to look for this
in the user structures.  Not too tough, and effective (if people are there
for while the lookup occurs).  Of course this does not catch 'ls ~pdg'.

I've always found that with the way most bozos have their paths set up
a shell script called 'ls' in the home directory is quite effective.
