Good keylogger/spyware?

I've got a little security problem locally. Even though I'm pretty strict about putting on the password-protected screen saver when I leave, there are times when I forget to. My network's pretty solid though, as far as I know.

In these few times, my friends-who are addicted to pranking-like to do things like change my screenshot file to something umm naughty, and I usually don't find out for hours (or even days) until someone tells me.... (I have a screenshot server running on my iMac that seems to be pretty busy, so I leave it running most of the time).

I'd ideally like a transparent keylogger (has to be native OS X because I had disk problems and couldn't install Classic).

Most importantly I need to find out if they've cracked my account password (which is 11 characters, upper and lower case letters, and numbers...)

Anyone know of any daemons or darwin apps that do this, since that would be ideal? I'm hoping at least to catch it when they mess around with my iMac and fix it quickly...

I've since really tightened my security bootstraps too. I suppose at least it keeps me on my toes for more serious intrusions, like spoofing my PGP/GPG keys or my Apple keychain file... Now all that's left is to retaliate
