&gt;&gt;I was thinking of logging their entire sessions.  We're doing some
&gt;&gt;performance benchmarking, and it would make collecting the results more
&gt;&gt;reliable than asking the researchers for them.  They tend to be a bit slow
&gt;&gt;in responding.  :)
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;I'm also thinking about it from a security/audit standpoint.  My users are
&gt;&gt;all Windows/Samba users, so it would be nice to log any shell activity on
&gt;&gt;their accounts, since they should have very little reason to use a shell.
&gt;&gt;

&gt;depending upon your needs, process accounting may be less cludgy for what 
&gt;you're wanting. Just a few caveats to remember if you consider it:
&gt;
&gt;1. it logs when the command exits, not when it starts (and if the command 
&gt;never exits, it never logs)
&gt;2. it logs commands run, but not arguments passed to them
&gt;3. someone running &quot;cp badcommand ~/bin/ls &amp;&amp; ~/bin/ls&quot; will show up as 
&gt;having executed
&gt;       cp
&gt;       ls
&gt;(ie, it's not bullet-proof)
&gt;
&gt;later,
