Another solution is to look for ttysnoop and usersurvey on freshmeat.
You'll have to make your user log through this program and you'll get full
view of what he'll be doing in a (x)term and you'll even be able to type and
correct whatever he does, exactly as if you had access to his keyboard.
Basically, it creates an exact clone of the tty on which he logs to.
