RE: root shell auditing

TJ,

I'd be interested in this, as well. I have a new junior admin, and if
anything were to break, I'd be able to trace it back.

Thanks,

David Bruce

Hey TJ,

I think this would be a great and very useful tool. Could you post is
somewhere where we/I can also download?

Regards

Dan

Mars,
       Not sure if it's an exact fit, but I put together a small patch
against bash 3.x a while back for someone that logs all commands to
syslog.   It hooks the commands as they're being logged into bash's
history buffer, so a (remote) syslog can capture commands in real
time.

      I don't recall what all it logged.  I believe UID, $PWD, and
command.  Timestamp came from syslog.

     Let me know if you're interested, I'll dig around for the .diff
and send it to you.


Regards,
TJ Easter
