            This manual page describes how to configure

                <manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
            </citerefentry>, a part of tlog package, to implement user session
            recording on text terminals.
            For a detailed configuration syntax reference, refer to the
            <quote>FILE FORMAT</quote> section of the
            <citerefentry>
                <refentrytitle>sssd.conf</refentrytitle>

        <para>
            SSSD can be set up to enable recording of everything specific
            users see or type during their sessions on text terminals. E.g.
            when users log in on the console, or via SSH. SSSD itself doesn't
            record anything, but makes sure tlog-rec-session is started upon
            user login, so it can record according to its configuration.
        </para>
        <para>
            For users with session recording enabled, SSSD replaces the user
            shell with tlog-rec-session in NSS responses, and adds a variable
            specifying the original shell to the user environment, upon PAM
            session setup. This way tlog-rec-session can be started in place
            of the user shell, and know which actual shell to start, once it
            set up the recording.

                            because each uncached request for a user requires
                            retrieving and matching the groups the user is
