Sudo log

[joseph51]

Hi,

How can i set the sudo logging in HPUX 11.11

Right now i configured like this
more /etc/syslog.conf
# @(#) $Revision: 74.1 $
#
# syslogd configuration file.
#
# See syslogd(1M) for information about the format of this file.
#
mail.debug /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
*.info;mail.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
*.alert /dev/console
*.alert root
*.emerg *
local2.debug /var/adm/syslog/sudo.log

But..when i am checking the sudo log its blank..Nothing get logged..

please help me

First, there MUST be a SINGLE tab between 'local2.debug' and '/var/adm/syslog/sudo.log'. You should then stop and restart syslogd.

Also, you should check your sudoers file for log configuration. I thing you would have more luck there than in syslog.conf.

man sudoers

for information on logging settings.

Shalom,

sudo does log its own acitivies.

Putting it as part of syslog requires a trip to the RTFM center.

Thats a good one.

just have this line in your sudo config file, this will work.

Defaults logfile=/var/adm/syslog/sudo.log

Well, the command above doesn't use sudo. You would have to execute something via 'sudo' to get sudo to log something.

Hi, you MUST use the command sudo

for example :

$ sudo dmesg

by the way, check man (1m) sudo
