Bug Description
Binary package hint: bash
Bash 4.1 includes a feature which is disabled by default:
config-top.h
- new define SYSLOG_HISTORY, disabled by default
bashhist.c
- if SYSLOG_HISTORY is defined, call bash_syslog_history with the
line added to the history in bash_add_history.
- new function, bash_syslog_
required by some national laws
It would be advantageous if we could make a package which compile a bash binary including this option turned on so system administrators can use this without having to maintain their own version of bash.
This change could also be coordinated with syslog changes to have the entries logged to a file such as /var/log/bash.log by default.
The new package could perhaps be called: bash-syslog, and would of course not be installed by default.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
