unix "script" command (Security)

Krusty,
You will have a problem with this if your users use vi. It is not very compatible with the script command.
Commands like cat and more and vi will cause grief for you.
From the man page for script.
WARNINGS
A command such as cat scott, which displays the contents of the
destination file, should not be issued while executing script because
it would cause script to log the output of the cat command to itself
until all available disk space is filled. Other commands, such as
more(1), can cause the same problem but to a lesser degree.
script records all received output in the file, including typing
errors, backspaces, and cursor motions. Note that it does not record
typed characters; only echoed characters. Thus passwords are not
recorded in the file. Responses other than simple echoes (such as output from screen-oriented editors and ksh command editing) are
recorded as they appeared in the original session.
