[comp.unix.admin] Logging guest activities...

I help run and maintain a public-access Unix system here at the University
of Virginia...  We accept guest logins, but I have been a little apprehensive
of the whole situation, since we offer un-restricted access for our users...
I've been wondering if there's a way to keep a log, using "script" or another
command of this type, of all guest activity, but make this unreadable and un-
writable by guest...  Preferably, we would put something in /etc/profile
that would execute a script if the username was guest, and start up the
loggers and such, and maybe do some additional fingers/etc to the originating
address...  
 
Of course we'd put in the guest welcome screen that all activities were being
logged to disk...  :)  Only fair to the users...

Any suggestions?
