I am trying to make a time structure,linked to the directory structure . I am trying to explain.For each file or directory there will be a time structure associated which will store all dates of modification of the files sequentially and will be accessible only by the root user. It is aimed at better security.Let us consider a person is to submit a report within a particular date.He doesnot,but when faced with inquiry,he just changes the system time to a previous date and saves his report made later, at that date.But this will be impossible with the time structure.A cursory glance at the dates of modification is enough to reveal that the system time has been changed.Can anyone give me any ideas how this can be achieved?I don't like to bias with mine.Any suggestion is welcome.The file system under consideration is ext2fs.Thanks in advance for any consideration.
