.bash_history

Dear All,

I am creating users on our servers. the .bash_history supposed to store all the commands entered by the user. My question is, how can I prevent the user himself from editing or viewing this file?
I have tried chaning the owner of the .bash_history to be the root user but unfortunately the commands entered by the user himself were not logged in the .bash_history when the owner is root.

I want to have control to see exactly what each user is doing and to store each single command ebtered by that user but at the same time I don't want the user to have access to such file whether to view it or to edit it.

Any idea on how to do that?

Awaiting your reply please.
