Tracking activities of Users using a particular login.

Hi!! Experts,

I have a typical scenario here in which several users have access to a particular login .. say "build".

None of the users know the passwd for this login.
The name of some of the user have been to .rhosts file.
The users can connect only by doing a rlogin to this id and then they can do some set of operations.

I need to to track which user has rlogin to this login and which are the set of command which he has run as "build".

Right now its a chaos. Some user does a rlogin to this ID and mess up the file and I have no way to find the culprit.

Could you suggest any pointers how to track it??

Thanks in Advance.. Smilie
