Have you run grep on all your log > files? ... yo, just did that: nothing, as I expected: because most of the commands that are logged there, are -if I understood correctly- commands very relevant to system security, such as when a file system has been mounted too often without having run a fsck on it, or when a dial-in command was made etc .... but "normal" commands, like deleting a file or so, are IINM not recorded there .. Thanks for your help, Keith ... I think I'll give up now. A hint for Red Hat, if someone from the company is reading this: I have here Red Hat 6.2 on the machine, and psacct - as it seems - was not installed here per default ... I don't know how this situation was handled in subsequent releases, but *if* psacct still today (i.e. on Red Hat 7.3) is not installed per default it might be perhaps a good idea to change this situation in future releases. Thanks for at least considering it, Red Hat Inc. ... :) And thanks a lot, again, to those who helped.
