Fedora 7 does not have the subtree auditing patch in it yet. This means that
if you place a watch on a directory, it is watching the inode of the
directory entries. So, this will work for 1 level.
IOW a watch on /etc will let you see a change to /etc/passwd, but you will not
see a change to /etc/ssh/ssh_config because its 2 levels down.
