This kind of access auditing is not available under vanilla UNIX.  As time
goes on you will see the additions of different security features which will
provide the kind of information you want (although the only person that should
be allowed to review a security audit log is the system administrator or some
"trusted" program).

SCO UNIX is supposed to have a full C2 level security implementation which
requires kernel auditing, but I have no details as to the implementation.
