OTOH what about audit trail? Are there any standard solutions for saving commands input at servers without giving person inputting those commands access to the logs?

Also, silly idea for a DOS attack vector: script-spam enough commands to have the audit history consume all available space on server.

We use rootsh[1] logging to syslog, which gets forwarded to a logging server, which in turn is periodically copied to a wholly separate AWS account, so that in case of breach of the main account the audit logs are intact.
