What good would a file called exlcude_me do?  It's not something that would be 
executed by anything automatically.  Any sysadmin would examine it.  

High level, intrusion detection is one of those things that is not a great pay 
off given that it is only reactive.  Once you detect the change the damage is 
already done.  Better to be proactive.  

1.  Have Cf mind file permissions.
2.  Have Cf mind file contents.
3.  Good enforcement of access controls for logins and systems like apparmour 
and selinux.
