Is it possible to audit a specific folder or file in Solaris ?

Hi,


I wish to audit access to a specific folder or file in Solaris.

I have read the man pages for auditd, audit_control , audit_event but don't seem to find any clue.

Has anyone tried this before ? Is it feasible ?

Any advise is appreciated.


Thanks

Yik

What exactly do you mean by 'audit'?
What are you trying to determine/learn?

I wish to track user access to specific files or folders e.g. /etc
and log the information to syslog.

I understand the Solaris BSM auditing can do that but not sure if it
can be tuned to audit only desired files or directories.
