I dont know if this is what you are looking for but something like this will email it too you daily.

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
echo "Permissions to Shadow File" > /home/perm.txt
ls -asl /etc/shadow | awk '{print $2}' >> /home/perm.txt
echo "Permissions to Passwd File" >> /home/perm.txt
ls -asl /etc/passwd | awk '{print $2}' >> /home/perm.txt
cat /home/perm.txt | mailx -s "File Permissions" user@mail.com
rm perm.txt

Dont know if this is on the right track, but it is just a simple script that you can put in cron that will check files and email too you. For any other files you want just put them in there as a new line.
