Is there a "filemon" equivalent?

Thanks!

The reason I asked is that sometimes I'd like to know what files different programs use for their configuration data. With windows (I know.....bad word :> ), I could crank up filemon, than start up the program and watch it as it hit files.

Thanks for the help!

The closest thing I know about is 'lsof' which is a command 
line program that lists all open files.
