Question for all sysadmins.
How do you keep track of what commands each user uses on his account. I thought an easy way is to monitor .bash_history, however those files can be "edited" by the user.
Is there a permission combination that will allow the shell to record to it but yet they can't edit... (12 Replies)
During the course of the session before I logout I see some of the commands listed from my previous session but not from my current session and after I logout and log back in I see the commands which I ran before logging out.
Does the .bash_history stay in the buffer or someplace else then?

Sample file:

I am using the bash shell.
When I view my recent command history using the "history" command from the prompt, it only shows me the commands starting at #928.
The commands I need are earlier than that, but I can't figure out how to make the other 927 display.
They are in my .bash_history... (1 Reply)

bsmconv
bsmconv(1M) System Administration Commands bsmconv(1M)NAME
bsmconv, bsmunconv - enable or disable the Basic Security Module (BSM) on Solaris
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/bsmconv [rootdir...]
/etc/security/bsmunconv [rootdir...]
DESCRIPTION
The bsmconv and bsmunconv scripts are used to enable or disable the BSM features on a Solaris system. The optional argument rootdir is a
list of one or more root directories of diskless clients that have already been configured. See smdiskless(1M).
To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client, a server, or a stand-alone system, logon as super-user to the system being converted and use
the bsmconv or bsmunconv commands without any options.
To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client from that client's server, logon to the server as super-user and use bsmconv, specifying the
root directory of each diskless client you wish to affect. For example, the command:
myhost# bsmconv /export/root/client1 /export/root/client2
enables BSM on the two machines named client1 and client2. While the command:
myhost# bsmconv
enables BSM only on the machine called myhost. It is no longer necessary to enable BSM on both the server and its diskless clients.
After running bsmconv the system can be configured by editing the files in /etc/security. Each diskless client has its own copy of configu-
ration files in its root directory. You might want to edit these files before rebooting each client.
Following the completion of either script, the affected system(s) should be rebooted to allow the auditing subsystem to come up properly
initialized.
FILES
The following files are created by bsmconv:
/etc/security/device_maps Administrative file defining the mapping of device special files to allocatable device names.
/etc/security/device_allocate Administrative file defining parameters for device allocation.
