Description-en: execve() wrapper and logger
snoopy is merely a shared library that is used as a wrapper
to the execve() function provided by libc as to log every call
to syslog (authpriv). system administrators may find snoopy
useful in tasks such as light/heavy system monitoring, tracking other
administrator's actions as well as getting a good 'feel' of
what's going on in the system (for example Apache running cgi
scripts).
.
This type of monitoring can be bypassed by hostile users, and should
not be considered a secure replacement for tools like auditd.
