Hi Davide,

Thanks for your answer.
I was aware of .bash_history, and I can even mark them as "append only"
from LIDS, but it'll be good if I can send that information to the central
secure syslog machine. Perhaps I can prepare something via cron...
OTOH, I'll investigate on the use of process accounting.
Cheers,

Mike
