Description julien.t43+bugzillaredhat 2016-04-04 18:48:44 UTC

Since 4.1 bash has an option to send history to syslog.
It's a compile option.
Ideally, it's a configuration or package option.

It would be a welcomed addition to improve security logging and forensics as described below:

https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/Improving+Bash+Forensics+Capabilities/20887/
$ vi config-top.h
#define SYSLOG_HISTORY
#if defined (SYSLOG_HISTORY)
#  define SYSLOG_FACILITY LOG_USER
#  define SYSLOG_LEVEL LOG_INFO
#endif

./configure
make install

Thanks

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2016-07-26 05:06:06 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.

Comment 3 Siteshwar Vashisht 2017-02-11 06:43:50 UTC

It is not desirable for every user to log bash history in syslog. I have posted a patch[1] upstream that makes syslog history configurable at runtime.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:45:25 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:52:37 UTC

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
