Operations that can alter the modification time of the acl.conf.

We would only expect the acl.conf file to be modified when the permission for
topics/queues are changed either via the tibemsadmin tool using grant/revoke
commands, by EMS APIs, or by manually editing the acl.conf file.  Other
than that, the permissions and modifications time of the acl.conf file should
not change.

If file content, time or permission change is noticed and it cannot be determined how  that happened, the user will need to enable the EMS server log with:
log_trace=DEFAULT,+CONNECT

This should log all activities and produce an audit trail of how files are being modified.
If the trace does not reveal anything, there is a possibility that someone is
manually editing the file.
