A friend of my suggested install rootsh or sudosu as the shell and wrap it in a script that pipes everything to syslog using a script like this http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/sysadmin/2006/10/12/httpd-syslog.html I haven't had time to set it up, but it seems like it could work. If you didn't want remote syslog, just pipe it to a local file. -- -matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
