Unix keystroke logger
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a tool in the market that could do the following when System Admin log to the server as root and perform activities according to his change request:
- trap or log his keystroke for the entire duration
- provide a report on the changes SA has made to the environment excluding harmless commands ( such as ls, cd, pwd,etc). If the SA execute a script called "ls", the tool should also list out what the script does and what changes has taken place.
Many thanks.

I'm having an issue with keystoke logging. As we know in unix you can press tab to auto-complete a command or whatever it is you are typing. Well keystoke logging in /var/log/ks, tabs are actually showing up as tabs rather than whatever the auto-completion was.

logger
LOGGER(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOGGER(1)
NAME
logger -- make entries in the system log
SYNOPSIS
logger [-46Ais] [-f file] [-h host] [-P port] [-p pri] [-t tag] [message ...]
DESCRIPTION
The logger utility provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module.
The following options are available:
-4 Force logger to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Force logger to use IPv6 addresses only.
-A By default, logger tries to send the message to only one address, even if the host has more than one A or AAAA record. If this
option is specified, logger tries to send the message to all addresses.
-i Log the process id of the logger process with each line.
-s Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.
-f file
Read the contents of the specified file into syslog.
-h host
Send the message to the remote system host instead of logging it locally.
-P port
Send the message to the specified port number on a remote system, which can be specified as a service name or as a decimal number.
The default is ``syslog''. If an unknown service name is used, logger prints a warning and falls back to port 514.
-p pri Enter the message with the specified priority. The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair. For exam-
ple, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility. The default is ``user.notice.''
-t tag Mark every line in the log with the specified tag rather than the default of current login name.
message
Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.
EXIT STATUS
The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
logger System rebooted
logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc
SEE ALSO
syslog(3), syslogd(8)
STANDARDS
The logger command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
