The best solution to this is to keep timestamped logs of who logs into the
systems, and also use a proxy (Squid is good, if you have a UNIX/Linux
machine) which logs Web accesses. Cross-referencing one to the other in
the event of a misdemeanour should be within the capability of most
sysadmins. Of course, your security policy must make clear to users that
such monitoring takes place.
