enabling audit trail for HPUX 11.31

[texchem]

hi, im new to tHPUX and i been requested to set the audit trail in my server to audit all folder/file creation,deletion and modification by all users. How do i do it in step by step. Please assist urgently..Thanks

the easiest way is to go imto the system management homepage, select auditing, urn it on and select the events (which are groups of system calls) you want audited. you can specify where the auditing files exist and review the logs in the gui

Hi Emil,

Thanks for the suggestion.I was thinking of doing the same thing since the command activation abit confusing. Thanks for your help. Just one more question,Will it crash or reboot the HPUX server by turning this auditing ON.?

>Will it crash

Be careful you have enough space in the target filesystem for your logs.
