CentOS - May 2010 - A Directory/Subdirectories Disappeared - which log file to look for this kind of information?

Hi,

A directory/subdirectories just disappeared on our dev box, and we don't
know what happened. Is there a log file that logs this kind of stuff (such as
who/date did a 'rmdir').  The /var/log directory has a lot of files and
I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks in advance.

Unless auditing is enabled and rules are configured then there's no
easy way to tell. You might try looking through the .bash_history
files of recently logged in users, but that's not time coded.
