Sudo Shell?

Thanks for the workaround, but it still causes usability problems with
my users.  I'm wondering if the following is possible or if there is
another utility I should look into to do it (basically an "su" that logs
each command):

$ id
joeuser 99
$ sudoshell
-- you are now root with idle timeout in 5 minutes 
-- and commands logged like you had issued sudo before each command
# cd /restricted/dir1/dir2/dir3
# pwd
/restricted/dir1/dir2/dir3
# id
root 0

Thanks,
Chris
