track sudo user


If a user has sudo privileges and make some changes to the system. Is there a way to distinct who did these changes.

Example:
If user="Tom" has sudo privileges and reboot the system. Can I truck who exactly reboot the system?

P.S In this case just user can reboot the system.

In the /var/log/auth.log you should see the things done with sudo privilegies.
