What history file - ie., for what user? If you have the HISTFILE variable set as readonly
and then start inotify or something else to do a change notify on the HISTFILE directory, you will catch whoever is playing games.
If there are users who can su root, that means your system is not locked down.

Appreciate your help.

inotail
INOTAIL(1) Inotify enhanced tail INOTAIL(1)
NAME
inotail - A fast and lightweight version of tail using inotify
SYNOPSIS
inotail [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
inotail is a replacement for the 'tail' program found in the base installation of every Linux/UNIX system. It makes use of the inotify in-
frastructure in recent versions of the Linux kernel to speed up tailing files in the follow mode (the '-f' option). Standard tail polls the
file every second by default while inotail listens to special events sent by the kernel through the inotify API to determine whether a file
needs to be reread. Note: inotail will not work on systems running a kernel without inotify. To enable inotify, please set CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
in your Linux kernel configuration and recompile it.
Currently inotail is not fully compatible to neither POSIX or GNU tail but might be in the future.
OPTIONS
-c N, --bytes=N
output the last N bytes. If the first character of N is a '+', begin printing with the Nth character from the start of each file.
-f, --follow
keep the file(s) open and print appended data as the file grows
-n N, --lines=N
output the last N lines (default: 10) If the first character of N is a '+', begin printing with the Nth line from the start of each
file.
-v, --verbose
print headers with file names
-h, --help
show help and exit
-V, --version
show inotail version and exit
