Hi Miachael,

the sudo native log system supports reply the actions taken by the
user ... does this rings any bell? ;-)

Defaults log_input, log_output, iolog_dir = /var/log/sudo-io/%{user}
You can also define owner and group of the log files ...
sudoreply is what you use to reply the actions.

Ciao
Luca
