Hi Mag Gam,
I don't know if it can log what every user does... but it can watch a
lot of things :) Here is an example of watching what happens in /tmp,
the reads and writes (auditctl -w /tmp -p rw -k tmp-watch):
[root@goofy ~]# auditctl -l
No rules
[root@goofy ~]# auditctl -w /tmp -p rw -k tmp-watch
[root@goofy ~]# auditctl -l
LIST_RULES: exit,always watch=/tmp perm=rw key=tmp-watch
[root@goofy ~]# ausearch -k tmp-watch

What i did under uid 500 in the shell was:
cd /tmp
ls
touch testme.hack
Like this you can watch under /bin with "-p rx" for example, and see
what your users execute from /bin. You get the ideea :)
Your could add a watch on “/etc/shadow” with the arbitrary filterkey
“shadow-file” that generates records for “reads, writes, executes, and
appends” on “shadow”:
auditctl -w /etc/shadow -k shadow-file -p rwxa
Use man auditctl, and take a look at /etc/audit/audit.rules.
BE CAREFUL!!! edit /etc/sysconfig/auditd and change the
"AUDITD_CLEAN_STOP" to no, otherwise when you restart auditd all your
rules will be wiped!
