You can configure it in the sudoers file, like this:

Defaults syslog = auth

Defaults log_year,log_host,logfile=/var/adm/sudo.log

You can set the log file in sudo configuration file. Check man page of sudoers,

Hi Tvs,

sudo log resides in /var/log/

And its name is sudo.log

--------------
# cd /var/log

# ls -l
total 240
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 107916 Nov 4 09:02 sudo.log

root@norsapa2 [/var/log]

Also it makes entry in syslog.log whenever someone use sudo.

Cheers,
Raj.

There are compile options you can define to put the sudo.log anywhere you want.

If the depot format. /var/adm/syslog/sudo.log

Can make entry in sudoers file;
Defaults !syslog
Defaults logfile=/var/adm/sudo.log

Hi,

There is no seperate log file for sudo. By default everything is logged to syslog.log only. Allthough you can log it seperately, unless done , the default file is sused.

Extract from "man sudoers"
===========================
logfile Path to the sudo log file (not the syslog log file).Setting a path turns on logging to a file; negating this option turns it off.

HTH,
Devender

Hi,

view the /etc/suoders file and check for sudo Defaults logfile=/var/adm/sudolog/sudo.log entry. This is the location where the sudo log is saved.

Sunil
