Re: File change notification along with user

["V.Ravikumar" <ravikumar.vallabhu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Other than fanotify , I can achieve my requirement through a driver/module. If this can be achieved through a driver/module please provide me inputs to start.

Thanks,
Ravi

Hi all,

Is it possible to write a module/driver which notifies file/directory change asynchronously along with user name(or with uid) who modified it.

inotify will do change notification but it will not provide uid who modified/created the file.

audit and inotify combination can work, but I'm looking for a better option than this.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Ravi
