Both Universe and Unidata have "remote voc" options which can enable you to wrap the tools such that TCL commands cannot be used to bypass them. To get a complete configuration management solution you may need to wrap tools and install triggers - since triggers cannot be use on your DIR type files and TCL commands can be used to move items.

Assuming you are trying to catch folks that use the "ED" (or AE) command, we have to assume that these folks have access to TCL. If you can get to TCL, and you are wanting to hide your tracks, you could still copy your record to a dir file, then use an OS native editor to make your "sneaky" change (like vi in Unix or Textpad in Windows), then copy the temp record back overwriting the original. You never used the "ED" command, but you were still able to change the data w/o the wrapper detecting it. Granted, the offender has to know they are being tracked and care enough to take an approach like this, but it would not be hard to do. A trigger would still detect this change, and so, IMHO, would be a more reliable approach. If used sparingly and wisely, triggers (and native indexes) are great!
