Hi I am a noob with linux server stuff.
I was wondering if there is a command in linux or there is a way to see which “user” has viewed or accessed a file in linux?

is there a such command?

I thought ‘stat’ command works could be a possible option, but after googling, I found out that someone posted here at the bottom:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/get-last-accessed-file-time-in-ubuntu-linux/
that there is not a way to view ‘who’ accessed a file. Is this true?

    The audit subsystem can tell you who or what has accessed a filesystem object.
