inotifywait comes to mind but there are other alternatives like scripting
something to watch the audit log.

Hi guys

I have a *directory *on a client system, and it needs to have permission
of 777
From time to time, automated software updates sets it to 770.
I am looking for a way to check this, and alert when permissions are not
as they should be.
Any advice appreciated.

Regards
Vernon
