The kernel's view is pretty much what you'd see in strace output. If there is something in the strace that is significant, a syscall rule can be written for it. The kernel doesn't have visibility into the meaning of anything users do. But what it can do is record any keystrokes that a user may type regardless of what program is receiving the characters. You can look into pam_tty_audit if you want to do that. It will record these as TTY events that you can later post process -Steve
