2.6.21-1.3194.fc7
on Fedora 7
Thanks again - Pete Briggs

Not for cd'ing into a directory. They have to attempt to read, write, change
an attribute, or execute a file.

That is how you would watch a directory with current audit package and kernel
with the subtree auditing patch.

They have to actually do something for it to trip...assuming you have a kernel
that supports it.
