File Permissions change date

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way to find out when the file/directory's permissions were changed. Typically, when using 'chmod' to change a file/directory's permissions, the modification date does not change.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

chmod changes the inode change time which you can see with "ls -lc".

Thanks for the reply but, it still does not tell me when a particular file/directory's permissions were changed. I guess, what I am trying to find out is the date/time when the file permissions of a particular file(s) were mangled.

Thanks again.

"ls -lc particular.file" will tell you when particular.file's inode was last changed.

Yes, it did work, I did not notice it carefully the first time when I ran 'ls -lc'.

Thanks again.
