We just have serial consoles on everything, which go through tightly
locked-down console servers running conserver, which allows logging
of everything that happens on the console.  www.conserver.com

We've had RT for a year and just over 1000 tickets and we have no
idea how we got along without it.  No closed system could be as
flexible, and even if you pay them for siginficant customizations
and feature enhancements, it's far less money than any "turn key"
system.  And for the suits, you can buy a support contract now.
