Simply tell them "Do not modify the command history or we wont hire you again.". Pretty non technical solution to what is a staffing issue. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sanjay Arora Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 2:03 PM To: CentOS Mailing List Subject: [CentOS] OT: Q: Howto implement a monitored Shell for remote logins I sometimes need to allow sub-contracted admins root ssh access to my servers. Later, I always wonder what they did during access. Is there any shell that provides all shell abilities to the remote user but monitors/emails a designated user each command executed in the shell terminal and does not allow the user (even root) to modify the bash history file or similar shell history file, or maybe sending each command by email to a remote server, so that modifying history becomes out of question? Hope someone can help. With regards.
