Hi, does anyone know of a program that can record IM chat program
messages, on mac OSX? I've found plenty that can listen ot the network
traffic and pick up MSN/ICQ/Yahoo converstaions and record them, but
none for Mac OS. It needs to be able to be made transparent to the
user also.

even if you find an app it will not be able to decrypt encypted traffic for you.

Or, alternativly, does anyone know how to enable the Macintosh Yahoo
messenger client to log? (if you do not have the yahoo messenger
account password)

and this is exactly why most IMs offer encryption these days. so people with access to the network, but no access to someone elses IM account, can't spy on others.

you could try blocking IM traffic on the network layer if you are the one who is responsible for this network and you have a problem with people using IM. but you don't spy on them.
