Sudo log
Hello,
Is it possible to configure the sudo log to register the logname instead of
the username?
I mean, if user A logs and su (switch user) to user B and then uses SUDO
to execute commands, the log will register actions of user B. What I need
is to register these actions as being executed by user A.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
C.
