If you need a keylooger - the kind of program you're describing - odys mentioned the script utility.

IF this is a real security problem, put something like this in /etc/profile
Code:
if [[ $USER = " badguy" ]]; then
  script <somedirectory the user can write to>/filename
fi

This way the user cannot circumvent logging by editing the .profile or .bashrc file.
