The pam_tty_audit PAM module is used to enable or disable TTY auditing. By default, the kernel does
not audit input on any TTY
this module is part of auditd and it takes 3 parameters
1 – disable is a pattern to disable the module in specified users u can use =* to disable it globally
2 – enable is a pattern to enable for specified users
3 – open_only to monitor fork apps
let’s assume we want to monitor keystrokes via incoming ssh connection
this is helpful because some bad users could remove their history or use screen command
we will use the pam_tty_audit inside the ssh pam file /etc/pam.d/sshd
add this the module to end of the file
