possibly in ld.so ?  :-)

This is (sort of) related to work I've been doing, but for a different
reason. :-)

I'm looking to be able to capture/log information about command
usage.

Things like when user "daemon" or "bin" uses telnet(1) or ls(1) I want
to *know* about it.

Tracking intrusions is the main reason for this sort of "tripwire" program.

I also want the ability to wraper programs against an access control list
on a user-by-user basis. e.g. user "bpowell" is allowed to use ps(1)
but user "foo" isn't.

putting it into ld.so has the advantage of being able to leave the "generic"
programs intact.

just a thought,
