Hi everyone.
I need a software that will allow me to record the key strokes (or have them into a log file) of another person and that would send them to me somehow. Is there such a thing for the Mac??? Recommendations?

This sounds distinctly dodgy.

I was noticing that myself. Not that I'm aware of any keystroke loggers for OSX anyway (though I wouldn't be surprised if one existed, probably ported from some other Unix-based OS), but this doesn't smell good.
Note that if such software exists, it would almost certainly have to be installed as root. Do you have the access you need to do this?

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Yeah, I could have it installed. I don't think that would be much of a problem.

Given that the involved layers of OS X are completely different than those in other operating systems, I'd think it's highly unlikely that you'd find a port.
Implementation-wise it'd probably be similar to SideTrack.

I'm guessing because he wants to observe something that's not traceable. I'm not exactly sure what that might be. If you were a smart admin, you would just sniff everything from his IP.
