security auditing

Hi Admins,

HPUX 11.31 integrity.

I have configured security auditing using below steps.

1.Ceated seperate mountpoints /audit with 500 MB.
2.Created one folder /audit/authfile as audit trail.
3.Started auditing using audsys -n -N2 -c /audit/audfile -s 5000
4.started audomon -- audomon -p 20 -t 1 -w 90 -X "/audit/audfile hostname"
5.Modified auditing file in rc.config.d .


But the audisp command not displaying event logs.


TEST:/audit/audfile#ll

-rw-------   1 root       sys          92494 Dec 27 12:41 spu0.log
-rw-------   1 root       sys              0 Dec 27 12:41 spu1.log

TEST:/audit/audfile#audisp spu0.log
All users are selected.
All events are selected.
All ttys are selected.
Selecting successful & failed events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------


#ps -ef|grep aud
    root 15015     1  0 13:11:18 ?         0:00 audomon -p 20 -t 1 -w 90 -X /audit/audfile hostname
    root 14433     0  0 12:41:45 ?         0:00 diskaudit_daemon


Please guide me how to display event logs.

Re: security auditing

When the audit subsystem is configured to write the event logs in regular mode (audsys -N1 or greater), you cannot specify the audit file by name to audisp. You must use the directory name instead.

 

Please try:

# audisp /audit/audfile
