Over at one of IBM's many developer websites, there's an article on new features of the Korn Shell. "New features of the Korn Shell provide system administrators and management with the ability to monitor, track, record, and audit every command executed by any user of a system. This is different from the normal shell history, and provides detailed information that includes date, time, tty, user, and the command. This information can be stored locally or transmitted in real time to a remote logging system."

I can imagine the first command that anyone who wants to get actual work done would issue would be "bash" or "zsh"
Granted the auditing is probably INTENDED as soimething to run on a server to try and catch hackers, but the potentials for abuse are, to put it mildly, immense.
