Now would be a good time to start, then.

The only things you need to ensure are:
- auditd cannot be killed off (this is an interesting bit actually, anyone knows how to do that ?)
- the audit trail files can only be appended to ; man chflags


An alternative would be lshell, however you'll have to whitelist commands people can execute.
