If you do not allow remote logins to your system I would
not worry about this.  Full disk encryption should solve
your main concern.  But you may need to worry about your
luks setup.  Of course, if people get physical access to
your system, all bets are off.

If allowing ssh(1), disable the use of passwords and enable
ssh keys.

If you are worried about local users, then you can enable
acct(2) and look for suspicious activates.  But in reality,
you should only let trusted users on your system :)
