System-Logging with /etc/logbook.txt

All changes to the system should be recorded in the /etc/logbook.txt file. Changes that belong together are grouped together in a block that begins with the date and the person who made the change. Within a block, the actions are sorted chronologically, but newer blocks are inserted above older ones.

By setting the LOGBOOK environment variable, a file other than /etc/logbook.txt can be selected for the purpose of logging.
