History to Another file [local user history , but root access]
Hi all,

My need is :
1. To know who , when , which command used.
2. Local user should not delete this information.
[The thing is , here we have a number of employees working in root permission.!!! And we are not actually getting who is doing which command and all...]

I mean , with an example , i can say
i have a user user1

i need to give all the following permissions to user1, :
a. A specific directory other than his home directory.
b. To edit /etc/profile
c. And/Or any other specific files/dirs.

user1's history will be saved in ~/.bash_history
user1 will have -rw-------. permission to ~/.bash_history

So there is a chance that he may delete the file itself / delete the content.

And so , i am thinking to do like..
i will have another file somewhere , say , /var/.bash_hist_user1

so automatically , What are all the commands entering by user1 should come inside /var/.bash_hist_user1 also.

OR ELSE


What are all the commands entering by user1 will come in ~/.bash_history
But he cannot delete the file / content.


Is it possible ? Smilie

dspam_merge(1)							       DSPAM							    dspam_merge(1)

NAME

       dspam_merge - merge several users' metadata into a composite

SYNOPSIS

       dspam_merge [--profile=PROFILE]	user1 user2 ... userN -o username

DESCRIPTION

       dspam_merge  merges  several users' metadata into a single user's dictionary. This tool is designed to create global users and seeded data.
       The hit sounds for each token and per-user totals are added together to produce a single composite  dataset.  After  creating  a  composite
       user, dspam_clean should be run with the -p option to clean up extraneous data.

       NOTE : Merges may take a considerable amount of time. This could potentially increase the load on the server or even slow down the delivery
       of email. A merge should only be performed when the system is fairly acquiesce.

OPTIONS

	--profile=PROFILE
	      Specify a storage profile from dspam.conf. The storage profile selected will be used for all database connectivity.  See	dspam.conf
	      for more information.

	user1 user2 ... userN
	      A list of users to merge together.

	-o username
	      The target user which will be created (if necessary). This user will contain the composite generated by the merge.

EXAMPLES

       dspam_merge dick jane spot -o ralph

       Merges the metadata dictionaries of dick, jane, and spot into a single composite under the user ralph

EXIT VALUE

       0      Operation was successful.
       other  Operation resulted in an error.
