monitoring a user account used by multiple users

kaplan71 · 02-03-2011, 01:12 PM

Hi there --

I am in the process of setting up a user account for an SFTP server that will possibly be used by multiple users. I am aware of the security risk involved, but it is a necessary evil.

I am trying to come up with an effective means of monitoring the user account. So far I have a script that runs the finger command, and emails me once an hour. Is there something else that I can do to keep a close eye on the account?

Thanks.

What kind of things do you want to monitor about it?

Nothing to do with networking, moved to linux-software.

Sorry about that.

Hi there --

Thanks for the reply. I'll try the rootsh utility, and see how that goes. Thanks.
