Perhaps you used useradd without enough switches. I prefer adduser. Create then as root and copy the contents of /etc/skel to them. > I need to be able to print off a log of when they were logged on and what > commands were used.

I've had trouble in the past with /var/account/pacct growing out of control, so I don't use it. .bash_history is useless because you can prevent commands appearing if there's an initial space by setting HISTCONTROL (man bash).
