Do what I do when I need to setup a new Linux facility.

Google "linux audit"

I remember getting a good hit near the top with that. There are cli tools for adding files/folders/mounts to the audit system and you can tailor which type of activity to audit. It's no where as difficult to do as it sounds.

How do I enable auditing of the home dir?
