[Pauldotcom] A logging root shell

[Owen Connolly]

Hi Nils,

Quest support and maintain sudo and in their commercial version have the ability to log the key strokes of anyone using privileged commands through sudo.  It also has a centralized policy manager. 

Alternatively, you could look at cyber-ark or Quest TPAM to do session management and recording.

Cheers,


Ojc
