[CentOS] Random files in homedir gets deleted

[Ross S. W. Walker]

You can enable auditing to determine if the files are disappearing due to human/machine intervention (audit file system deletes) or if it is due to file system corruption (files disappear and no delete audits recorded).

It may just be an errant rsync script.

Subject: [CentOS] Random files in homedir gets deleted

On one of my systems I seem to loose a file or two from time to time.
Last night, one of my files (/home/online/sh/NattjobbPrivat.sh) was
deleted/removed/vanished. Another time it was /home/online/sh/daemon
that was deleted.

But I can't seem to find anything strange in the logs or in the history,
nor would any of my scripts running in crontab mess with those files.

Where can I look for clues? And how do I enable audit for file
operations in my home folder?
