I've recently inherited a Redhat 5.4 system and am not terribly familiar
with the application running on it. :-(

A directory ownership changes periodically from aa:bb to cc:cc

That causes grief because process that try to write to that directory fail
due to permission problems.

Am I correct that the culprit must be running as root in order to change the
ownership that way, or could user "aa" or a member of group "bb: change the
ownership to cc:cc?
The permissions on the directory are 755 (drwxr_xr_x) sub-directories/files
are not altered.

Next question... and this is the fun one... is there a way to log who/what
changes the file ownership... those events don't get logged in
/var/log/messages

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
