SUMMARY: Who is doing chmod on homedirs ?

[Nicolas Dorfsman]

	A very late summary....no time before to write it.


So, I wasn't the first guy to encounter this kind of magic chmod !
	
G.Hackett suggest: 
-----
You could write a wrapper script for chmod by moving chmod to
chmod.sav and then put the folllowing lines in the file chmod
#!/bin/sh
who am i > /chmod_monitor
exec $0.sav $@
Then make chmod executable.
------

....this can't trap every inode modifications, but permits to exclude
humans or scripts.

Pavan Hotha wrote me about a similar issue...was Virus Scanner which
scans samba shares and change permissions. SreenivasaRao Vadalasetty
reports the same experience.
I haven't any wintel machine with a virus scanner....but....hey ! what
about my NFS shares ? So, I remove "root=xxx" in /etc/dfs/dfstab and
reshare all.

Problem solved ! One of my Linux box change permissions on remote shares
! I can't say which one (I've got some RH and Mdk) but they did !
