Re: History Files

[dgarcia () UNPHU EDU DO (Dan Garcia)]

In /etc/profile u can set many things.
One is the HISTFILE.
Default is ~user/.bash_history
but u can specify another one.
May i add that login what user does on the shell can be futile.
And experience user can add to his .bash_profile the line:
export HISTFILE=/dev/null and voila! are never logged.
