Subject: Re: [DNG] logging uses of machine-id
    Please find in atttachment a quickly hacked C program which writes
a line on standard output everytime a process opens a given file.

    The invocation syntax to watch machine-id is 'fawatch
/var/lib/machine-id'

    The program can be compiled with 'gcc -o fawatch fawatch.c'

    You need special permission to execute the program. Being root is
the simplest way.

    I'm going to start it from rc.local, just to see ...
