“Applications can ask the Linux kernel to report changes to
selected files and directories. I created the Kernel Filesystem
Monitoring Daemon (kfsmd) to make monitoring filesystem changes
simple.“There are packages available for both 32- and 64-bit Fedora 7
and 8 and Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, as well as 32-bit packages for
openSUSE 10.3. You can also download a repo file, which can be used
with Fedora 8 and yum. Placing the repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d

kfsmd on a Fedora 8 machine. You can also compile directly from
source if that is your preference…”
