It would be nice if you could provide for getting details like the uid who opened the file, a timestamp, open flags, denied open requests and other miscellaneous details like that if possible so someone later can write fauditlogd. (file audit log daemon) I wouldn't personally find it useful, but I'm sure someone else would. (And I can't resist suggesting ideas for others to implement ;)) It would be nice to be able to put in wildcard ``callbacks'' too, although perhaps this would introduce too much of a performance penalty. Do you have any idea how much overhead the system would have on normal files for which no ``callbacks'' have been installed? Sounds pretty cool.
