Hi,
I have developed the gtkila (GPL) log analyzer for RSBAC as a project
part of my study. It is written in C and gtk+ (plus interfaces are
generated by Glade/libglade).
It has been my first project bigger than, reading two numbers of
stdin, add them and print them on stdout  ;) 
Personallay, I have learned a lot and preogress will be going on.

You can download gtkila from the SVN repository:
http://svn.rsbac.mprivacy-update.de/viewsvn.php?project=rsbac&path=/ila/gtkila/
svn://rsbac.mprivacy-update.de/rsbac/ila/gtkila

To start gtkila you must pass the glade xml file as an argument (as
long as I know how to code the path of the glade xml file dynamically
in my code):
[jonas at TuxM gtkila]$ /usr/local/gtkila src/ila.glade

For any urgent assistance you are welcome to ask in the IRC channel #rsbac on Freenode.
My nick name is MrRagga and others are always willing to help as well.


Furthermore I would like to get some feedback from you to include in
my documentation (GFDL).

Feedback
----------------
Features:
- Open a RSBAC log file for analysis
- Watch a log file in real time (default /var/log/syslog), you can
change this part in the settings, wherever you defined RSBAC to log
- right-click context menu for a real time log table to display the
File/ Dir settings of a file/dir
- Search and sort function for a log table

Not working at the moment is:
- the regular expression search and of course some more or less bugs
- Open a logging File crashes with too huge files (fix is in progress)
- Show File/ Dir settings works for FD objects only
