linux - Determine what file has changed or been created -

i'm able connect our centos 6.7 server external ldap last step in process requires in gui:

system > administration > authentication, checking "authentication method"

i'd love either know exact file change in gui modifies or creates, or learn method can use show me files have been created or modified in last 5 minutes, example. of course, have no idea directory or directories file created or modified in.

i'm mac user have tools in os x can used such purpose, i'm hoping there's equivalent method in centod/rhel.

thanks in advance,

dan

this isn't exact answer looking solve immediate problem. following find command shows created files, sorted recent:

find /etc -type f -printf '%ty-%tm-%td %tt %p\n' | sort -r 

looks file changed gui above is:

/etc/sysconfig/authconfig
