You could try to customize /etc/syslog.conf:
This is what I have on my favorite box:
Code:
mail.debug                      /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
*.info;mail,auth,local5.none    /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
local5.notice                   /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
local5.info                     /var/adm/syslog/ftp.log
auth.info                       /var/adm/syslog/auth.log
*.alert                 /dev/console
*.alert                 root
*.emerg                 *
#*.err                  /var/adm/syslog/err.log

The script is called via exec with traps from the user's .profile.
The user can edit the profile unless you have it owned by another user maybe root. Watch permissions.

traps are in place so that breaking out of the script logs them out of the system.

Why not just use a restricted shell, or even better chroot those users. You obviously are trying to enforce a security paradigm.
