    Yep, I know! You just replied to a message of Arnt ( I think) who
proposed that, and I (with a big help from thunderbird) messed up the
citation (~:

    But fanotify() is just crafted for this usage; it even asks the
watcher if the process which wants to access the file should be given
the permission to do it.

    It would be pretty easy to write a server with a config file
mentionning which application is allowed to open the file, and log all
accesses.
