Root shell with logging

[Krishnaprasad_K at Dell.com]

Hi,

	There is a variable called HISTFILE and by default it will be
assigned as /root/.bash_history

	You can change the variable value to something else so that u
can store the entire commands history to that particular file. You can
set HISTFILE variable name in /etc/profile.

	Hope this helps!!

Subject: Root shell with logging

Hi all,

due to security contraints I am looking for a shell that logs all
commands 
that are invoked by the user, in particular if the user has become root.
I 
found two (non-RedHat) approaches: sudosh and rootsh. Sudosh seems to be
a 
pretty good tool, unfortunately it logs also passwords in clear-text 
format. Rootsh not only logs keystrokes but also all the output to
syslogd 
and fills up our log files . So, both tools are not suitable for us. At 
the moment we just copy the .bash_history file if a user logs out. But 
this is not absolutely reliable.

Are there any other approaches? Could someone please point me to a
usable 
solution for this issue?

Thanks,
Oliver Fenker
