Yup George :)
I came to know that crons does them the other day , when I was
traversing through /etc/logrotate.d /etc/crons.daily
Hey I got the thing that this below command will list the diff itself
To report in a more human-readable format:
# rpm -qa --last
var/log/rpmpkgs is created on a daily basis with an rpm listing. It's
then rotated weekly. See /etc/cron.daily/rpm and /etc/logrotate.d/rpm.
You could customize these reports if you wanted to. To simply see
what's changed this week:
# diff /var/log/rpmpkgs /var/log/rpmpkgs.1

Hi,
Ok, I just found out about /var/log/rpmpkgs. I didn't know this file existed
at all. I turns out that this file is placed by a job running via /etc/
cron.daily (see the rpm script there). It is basically the output of:
rpm -qa (q for query....a for all)
The files with extensions you see are created by logrotate via:
/etc/logrotate.d/rpm
which basically rotates the file based on the rules specified in the above
configuration file.
I haven't think of a way to keep track if rpm's installed by the
users...Probably you'll need to create a script which will compare (using
diff) the rpmpkgs file with the previous day one...something like that. And
if you want to know WHEN exactly was it installed (hour, minute) that's
another thing. You'll have to investigate further (Google etc..).
HTH,
Jorge
