Every command the user types within the root shell is logged as +well as the output. + +How is this different than "sudo -s" or "sudo /bin/sh" ? + +Using "sudo -s" or other methods doesn't log commands typed to syslog. +Generally the commands are logged to a file such as .sh_history and if you +use a shell such as csh that doesn't support command-line logging you're +out of luck. + +sudosh fills this gap. No matter what shell you use, all of the command +lines are logged to syslog (including vi keystrokes.) + +See README in /usr/doc/sudosh2-<version> for configuration and usage. |
