auditctl -a watch,always /etc/inittab -F success=no
This would be a syntax error..but
auditctl -a exit,always -w /etc/inittab -F success=no
How can I do it?
It depends on the kernel you are running on. For 2.6.19 and higher, you'd just
do:
auditctl -a exit,always -F perm=rwa -F path=/etc/inittab -F success=no
If you have an earlier kernel, you are limited to -S open -F success=no and
you could limit its scope by using -F devmajor and devminor.
