You really don't trust your admins, do you? :-)
As mentioned in a reply to one of my posts, a third-party syslog wrapper is
probably your best bet.
However, as a workaround you could set the membership for this user that you
don't trust so that they don't belong to the Administrators group, then grant
the user special permissions that don't include the Change Permission, Take
Ownership or View Permissions permission. It would help if I knew what you
needed this for. You can email me with a more complex explanation if you
like.
