Well, the user is writing shell history, but it wraps, and the user can destroy it, since they can write it. That is why I mentioned a syslog(), which sends off a message not recallable. I change my HISTFILE and HISTSIZE for more recall not deleted, and back up HISTFILE so I can recall more. But it is almost impossible to track a UNIX user's every execution unless you truss/tusc/strace init or the like. You might do it with a modified /lib/libc.so, if everyone uses the dynamic link. You are really talking about proprietary features added to UNIX. Even then, one might download static binaries and run them.

SSS_USERMOD(8)							 SSSD Manual pages						    SSS_USERMOD(8)

NAME

       sss_usermod - modify a user account

       sss_usermod modifies the account specified by LOGIN to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line.

       -h,--home HOME_DIR

THE LOCAL DOMAIN

       In order to function correctly, a domain with "id_provider=local" must be created and the SSSD must be running.

       The administrator might want to use the SSSD local users instead of traditional UNIX users in cases where the group nesting (see
       sss_groupadd(8)) is needed. The local users are also useful for testing and development of the SSSD without having to deploy a full remote
       server. The sss_user* and sss_group* tools use a local LDB storage to store users and groups.
