but users can still unset HISTFILE shell variable in their ~/.profile. I
would prefer to do something like:
        typeset -rx HISTFILE=/bash_history/directory/".`whoami`-history"
        typeset -rix HISTSIZE=10000
        typeset -rix HISTFILESIZE=10000
        typeset -rx HISTCONTROL=IGNOREBOTH
        typeset -rx HISTIGNORE=""
        enable -n declare
        enable -n typeset
in /etc/profile.
But if user kill his bash process (kill -KILL <pid>), nothing would be
written in bash_history.
Maybe installing the snoopy package would solve that issue.
