Hi

You could always capture the information from .sh_history.

Not an entirely elegant solution though. Also, take a look at auditing - man audit.

Cheers

You could turn on system accounting, but watch out for the space requirement it needs

/usr/sbin/acctcom
$ man acctcom

This will give you information on tty ports, time stamps of who was logged in. There is also 'runacct'

also
$ man pacct

Enable inetd logging so that all connection establishments are logged it syslog.

Hello,
Another way to see user acces are last and lastb commands.

Check the content of the files.

/var/adm/sulog
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Use the commands,

w
last
netstat -a

while solutions have already been given that I would recommend another option would be to put a line in their .profile
script /tmp/`logname`.`date`

Depending on how muc they do this file will get big over time.

If you want to get as granular as auditing and granting commands to non super users, check out sudo. It generates a pretty nice audit trail if setup properly.
