Just a suggestion, you could use Babel Enterprise: 
http://babel.sourceforge.net/en/index.php
And keep your boxes totally under control, I mean, you will be able to notice 
when and where permissions have been changed, even more, you will be able to 
realised if your perm have been set correctly, talking about security, of

Hope this helps.
