Sudo is another alternative.

Symark markets a product similar to sudo and su2 that will even 
perform keystroke logging.  Currently they support various 
platforms, including Linux (we can run the Linux binary).  They've 
told me that if there is enough interest they can recompile the 
product for other platforms not currently supported.

You could use a combination of sudo/su2 with script(1) to perform 
keystroke logging or create a hacked shell that logs commands and 
return codes to syslog.

Finally, process accounting can provide a limited logging 
capability.

Of course all of the above logging can be defeated by anyone with 
root wishing to hide their tracks.
