Even though this is limited to searching for the string "event" you can enhance
it to search for "kbd" or "mice" or "mouse" as well by adding more if
statements.

yes, a great idea! I've been thinking about it too.
but your presenting it now reminds me of this unix koan:

so we'll keep the issue open for now.

Well, that is your choice. You asked for a better way in the code and what I
felt was better I suggested. Fork-exec'ing can be a security hole since you do
not know that the shell you are forking into is compromised or not.

ok, thanks. but if the shell is compromised, what other security holes are left
open?

the question is real: if you know of such a vector where default user shell is
compromised and the rest of the system (as if any:D) isn't, please do point me
to it.
