SUMMARY: Big Brother w/ files

My original question was "how do I see who wrote a file last, not just
when."

Thanks to:

I take my hat off to lrs_at_zk3.dec.com for pointing out my error: audit in
fact logs whether a file is opened read only, or read-write. This solved my
problem as the ruid and euid are logged (see below).
