If they have root they can clean/replace/modify anything.  They could even 
put measures in place to prevent future detection.

Remote realtime logging to a locked box is good.  Logging to lpt, for 
instance, cannot be cleaned without physical access :D

If I knew the root passwd and have access to a user account on a box,
can I sucessfully clean my trail (sulog, messages, etc) with all
entrances and activities I do to the box? If the audit was done only on
the box level , not pix logs or anything else.
Is there something that may log this that cannot be cleaned?
I remember seeing this on the list before but cant remember what date it
was. 
Just wondering.
