Keylogger

So I'm going to be setting up a Macintosh laptop running OS X at school for my friends and I to use. It'll have an internet connection. Anyway, I'd like to be able to monitor what they do, and make sure they're not getting into anything that might cause trouble for me, or the school, or whatever, so I'd like to install a keylogger. Preferable, it would email the logs, but its also alright if it just stores them as a file.

Anyone know of something I could use?

    As much good as keylogging can do, there is far more evil.


    A much better way to track what a machine is doing is to simply check the History or cache. You'd be surprised at how many don't understand that the sites they visit DO linger. Especially with younger kids, with non-tech-savvy parents who don't know how to track it. On a Linux/Windows machine, there are even ways to invisibly keep copies of the history/cache, for those kids who do have a clue.

    Past that, if you have an upstream NAT machine providing the connection, or even as a bridge/passthrough, with Linux you can set it up to mangle packets and log any DNS queries from the particular IP address of that machine.

    For the greater good,
