Re: login session transcript

First off let me reiterate.  You should seriously rethink your decision.  But
if you must, then consider logging to a second machine.  A machine that is not
important, since this would also lead to a possible compromise of that machine.
   
But, remember you are giving root away, so they can easily redirect the logs
from your server somewhere else other than the second machine.
