Where are the logs for ISPConfig 3 SSH users?

    When ISPConfig 3 creates a new SSH user, where does it put the .bash_history log file?

    I would like to be able to review command line histories on a few of the users accounts that I set up.

    Thanks!

    if it is not in the web root directory then there is no such log.

    troubshooting .bash_history

    Well...

    I managed to get it to work, but I think there may be an error in the ISPConfig 3 Shell user setup and configuration

    I noticed that:

    # echo $HISTFILE

    produces: /path-to-webroot/.bash_history

    # export HISTFILE

    didn't produce anything until I created an the empty .bash_history file with the root account, in the webroot directory using

    # touch .bash_history

    Then, I gave it permission 775 and assigned it to user:group apache:web3 (in this case)

    Now, when I exit, I notice that the .bash_history file is being populated with the history of commands.

    Please post this to the bugtracker if you like this to be changed in future versions.
