How could I log a seesion on unix machine...log all the commands applied on the server by a user
why not use the onboard tool?
Have you a link for this "onboard" tool? Unfortunately the name is too common for Google to return interesting results.
read my first post...
The advantage of the above tool is that you can track all exec() calls made by a particular user; only a very clever hacker-user would be able to hide his tracks.
The advantage of the rootsh tool is that it is not Solaris-specific, and tracks actual command-line usage. The advantage of command-line usage is you can see what the user was trying to do, whereas with auditing, you see what the user actually did.
The choice depends on whether you are trying to account for activity ("Why is the computer always slow when Joe is using it"), or track what users are trying to accomplish. ("I typed make, but it didn't work!")
PS: If you are trying to help users through shell interactions, a useful tool is screen (GNU), which allows users to "share" a virtual terminal.
could you please provide me with the installation instruction...i tried to install this tool in a linux 2.4.21 but i didn't succeeded.??!!
which tool? Obviously the account tool for Sun will not work with linux.
OK thanks I will ask Linux forum
How could I log a seesion on Linux machine...log all the commands applied on the server by a specific user
so why did you ask in the solaris forum if you don't use solaris?
I use both system Solaris & Linux
you can use the "script" command
eg.script ganesh.log
This is resolve your query ..
