You can grant them read and write access even if they're not the owner. Not being the owner would prevent them from chmod-ing it.

Of course, if they have write access, they never needed chmod, because they can write to it. If they have access to a file and have shell access, they have access to a file and have shell access. This is why giving 9 people the same shell account is a bad idea...

I think script in bash_profile might work.
Nothing would stop them from killing script and falsifying its results. If they have access to their files and processes, they have access to their files and processes. This is why giving 9 people the same shell account is a bad idea...

Do they truly need shell access to this account? Might they just need the ability to do a few very specific things as this user? You could limit them with sudo. Only allow a few specific users to run your very own wrapper script under this user, a wrapper script which records and formats their input in whatever way you like. This would let you control which users get to run it, too, without having to give them all the same password. You'd be able to track which users were running it when, too. You may even be able to do it seamlessly with an alias.

XSLT_SET_LOG(3) 							 1							   XSLT_SET_LOG(3)

xslt_set_log - Set the log file to write log messages to

SYNOPSIS
void xslt_set_log (resource $xh, [mixed $log]) DESCRIPTION
This function allows you to set the file in which you want XSLT log messages to, XSLT log messages are different than error messages, in that log messages are not actually error messages but rather messages related to the state of the XSLT processor. They are useful for debugging XSLT, when something goes wrong. By default logging is disabled, in order to enable logging you must first call xslt_set_log(3) with a boolean parameter which enables log- ging, then if you want to set the log file to debug to, you must then pass it a string containing the filename. PARAMETERS
o $ xh -The XSLT processor link identifier, created with xslt_create(3). o $log - This parameter is either a boolean value which toggles logging on and off, or a string containing the logfile in which log errors too. RETURN VALUES
No value is returned. NOTES
Note Please note that file:// is needed in front of the path when using Windows. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Using the XSLT Logging features <?php $xh = xslt_create(); xslt_set_log($xh, true); xslt_set_log($xh, getcwd() . '/myfile.log'); $result = xslt_process($xh, 'dog.xml', 'pets.xsl'); echo $result; xslt_free($xh); ?> PHP Documentation Group XSLT_SET_LOG(3)
