Be carefull the history logs only show the common commands input on
the shell, this didn't show everything wrappen on it. Only keyloggers
can do that. If history remember all it would be a major security
failure... For example with shells history logs you can't see the vim
editing sequences, and for sure the password entries. And the real,
and only for me, utility of a keylogger is to log thoses pass entries.
A good keylogger have to, in my mind, be directly implanted in the
kernel, the shells let to much ways to escape from the logs...
