I am interested in knowing if it is possible to find out the following info
about a typical file.
1. who accessed it last;
2. when was it accessed;
3. what was the operation(eg. read, write, mknod);
I am aware that in C, through the use of fstat(fd, buf), the last access time
st_atime can be determined. However, I am not sure if that only records file
owner's operation.
Without running background job 24hr/day and/or being a super user, could one
determine the above info about a file?
Any shell script, C program or hacking will do. Thanks in advance.
