Hello,
I have a question about the linux log files in linux.
I have 2 profiles for security reasons as most of you
do: one my username and one as admin or su.

Recently i lost a few things in the user account due
to some virus problem and was curious whether if being
a system admin of the same machine, I can get back as
much information of my activity in that user account.
For eg any bash_history type command histories, any
files that i open and ran successfully in some
applications such as matlab or jsp or sql which I
normally use would be useful. 

Basically is there a way even I can know what happened
in my user account using adv of the fact that im also
the system admin account. This would be useful for me
to debug the virus issue


Thanks
Amol
