Hi to all who have taken the trouble to respond:

To Porter:
I appreciate your somewhat acerbic remarks about

"Then you either don't comprehend the seriousness or don't care about security.

If you had a bull rampaging in your china shop would you be trying to find the farmer or trying to protect your merchendise?"

Comprehending the seriousness is not an issue - I am well aware of it. The situation is simply that I cannot get *anything* done without being able to produce evidence of malpractice. I work for a *very* big outfit where money - not sense - counts; I am sure we have all seen similar.

I have *no* control over the server admin and even if I could get the root password changed I have reason to believe that the villain is in 'cahoots' with system support and would simply get the relevent info and carry on as before.

I need to find a 'smoking gun'

Thanks to all for your input - any other suggestions will be most appreciated - EG is there a way of putting a 'watch' on a file to log access/edit etc etc

Thanks to all again
