2) What value has a log file anyone can write what he wants in it, but even more if you cannot trace who wrote what in it?

I suggest you really try to learn UNIX basics, what permissions are and what for, and the use of logging ( as not all is reasonable...).
Instead of trying to rebuild what exist, learn, yes seriously, learn what UNIX can offer, and what exists, as sure looking and all you recent threads, if would have been far more easier to implement what exist already in UNIX:
Auditing....

I would appreciate if anyone could share the correct proposed auditing system so i could learn and implement it. I should know who logged in when, be able to prompt & enforce a user login to enter an explanation of why he login, what all commands they fired i.e history for that session etc.

Anyways, because i thought the nature of my request is custom, i would rather go implementing it myself.

By the way to address the concerns as soon as a user login i will have the root user run and copy rsync the logs from /tmp to a place where only root has access.

Also, the root will check if the profile of any user has been tampered with using grep or cksum.

Here is a plan that is working.
