It is possible using the auditd subsysted. You'd need to define a rule to match that user and firefox. I don't have the exact syntax, but the rule I use for root in audit.rules is: -a entry,always -S open -S close -S read -S write -S link -S unlink -S chmod -S chown -S execve -F uid=root -k root_activity If you do a man on auditctl it can show the options. You could, for example, generate a rule whenever a particular user launches firefox, etc.. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
