Title: How to tell who moved files/directories?
Post by: paulmancan2 on September 17, 2004, 07:04:01 PM

Hi. Not really e-smith specific I guess, but any help would be appreciated. I am trying to figure out which user keeps moving directories in an ibay around. Is there any way to figure this out?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Login to the server as root
cd ~ibay   -- Where ibay is the name of the ibay
cd files
ls -l

It should list the owner or the last person that created/moved the file.

Now if someone else edited the file afterwards, it will show that user as the "owner".  Editing is actually a
"create new and delete old"
