Use the network functionality of syslog to send a copy of the log messages to another host, then make sure this user does not have admin access to the system that receives the logs. The admin can stop the sending of the log messages and/or send false ones, but with this setup, he/she cannot remove nor change anything that's already logged.

If someone has root access to a normal HPUX system, he/she can disable any locally-installed monitoring or cause it to produce false information.
