Thanks Dan. I think this will work out for what I'm trying to do.

BTW: I don't think this is possible, without auditd/snoopy or similar,
but does OSSEC offer any sort of 'native' ability to track who is
making changes to a file, etc? Or are there any workarounds that would
offer this functionality? Just double-checking to cover the bases :)
