So, to break down the BSM tool... &nbsp; &nbsp;the document Nukfor sent seems to sum it up... so here is my understanding... &nbsp;can anyone clarify if I've got it before I try it?<br />
<br />
<br />
run the audit_startup script<br />
then I can edit (using vi??) the audit_control file to:<br />
<br />
dir:/var/audit<br />
minfree:20<br />
flags:lo<br />
naflags:lo<br />
<br />
<br />
and this will grab all login activity?<br />
<br />
My thoughts were to setup a cron job to do the audit -n then archive the resulting logs off the server... &nbsp;is this a sound plan? &nbsp;Or am I missing something??<br />

Solaris 9 CDE Authentication Logging

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
