BASH history fun

I've had to do some sysadmin work lately and was thinking about BASH command-line history. I found an interesting article YOH's Bash History Archiving and while I don't think I'll follow his method, he's stated the concern very well: "It is a reasonable wish to have all of my activites logged, so in the future I could check what I did, how I did."

Pretty sure my needs are met by setting HISTSIZE very big, but also in the same Googling session I found a couple other interesting articles. The latter points to another great idea I'm happy to learn about and will use henceforth: HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

Now back to the project at hand...
