Re: sulog entries

Hi,

They will grow without limits. Normally, a cronjob is setup to do something like:
cp /var/adm/sulog /var/adm/sulog.old
compress /var/adm/sulog.old
cp /dev/null /var/adm/sulog
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: sulog entries

/var/adm/sulog will be moved to /var/adm/OLDsulog upon a reboot.
You could run a cron job to copy, move, rename, zero out etc. wtmp and btmp.

Hope this helps
