Newbie needs help with logging
 
Hi all, new to this forum and fairly new to Linux. I'm experiencing a issue in my RedHat deployments that I was hoping someone could help me with.
I need to turn on logging so when a user accesses a folder I can log it. I also need to be able to log a users activity as in a user logs into the server then opens a folder then cd.. to another root folder etc. I need to be able to track that type of activity.

Is this possible to log this type of activity?

Thanks in advance

Probably you have to look into rsyslogd deamon available with RHEL

Look also at rootsh and inotify.
For remote logging, add '-r' to SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/syslog on receiving system.
On sender, edit /etc/syslog.conf eg

*.warn @192.168.1.1

IP Addr is that of the receiver
