Hi,

Is it possible to logging/monitoring the activity of an user-account
on Linux ??

We are looking into using the command script to build up a monitoring
tool, but it seems like if you are having a little knowledge about
Linux you can get a workaround of the command and delete the log.

Best regards

What you really want is a keystroke monitor. Unfortunately, they're
bloody awkward to integrate into a normal operating system and cause
damage at weird times.

There is often some logging with some shells, namely a .bash_history
file, but those are easily confused and edited. It's also possible to
monitor the network traffic between one machine and another, but that
presents a lot of data you normally don't care about.
