Or go the Red Hat or SUSE solution. For RHEL, you buy an rhn subscription and use Satellite, or go free and use CentOS and Spacewalk. On SUSE use SUSE Manager, it will manage Red Hat as well. One could use Spacewalk to manage SUSE as well.

Could I hide a one time action to hide something nefarious as a system admin? Probably. Could I do it everyday and not arouse suspicions? Not likely. I doubt I could both perform my job and leave evidence in the logs and hide nefarious doings long term.
My manager holds regular one on one meetings. They build our relationship but also are way to keep tabs on what I am doing, what roadblocks I might encounter and are sounding board for any improvements I might come up with.
