How do you prove the evidence was not planted by someone else with admin
privileges? If you try to monitor an admin worth his money you will
fail. Period.

???? . This make no sense. If someone outside your IT Administration
Team has an admin password, then you have bigger problems. It shows
that you don't have proper process in place for securing the
administration accounts.

The idea is to have limited number of people access to the admin/root
password. So that minimum number of people need to be investigated in
case of a fraudulent activity.
