man bash and search for 'HISTSIZE'

another way I use to stop root commands being logged:

if [ $EUID -eq 0 ] ; then
unset HISTFILE
fi

placed in the appropriate file, /etc/profile in this case.

course removing the first and third lines would stop all command logging

I have place your script into /etc/profile,

What script is that?

Please quote enough of the post you are replying to to give the
context of your own post. This is usenet, not a web forum (though
it is also bastardized on several web sites).

"If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, don't use
the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article. Click on
"show options" at the top of the article, then click on the
"Reply" at the bottom of the article headers." - Keith Thompson

but still doesn't work.

What does "doesn't work" mean? What DID it do? What is it supposed
to do?

Do you have other solution?

Solution to what?

Have you read the INVCATIN section of the bash man page? Do you
know when /etc/profile is sourced and when it isn't?
