Thanks to Ariane, Eric, and Todd

I choose Ariane solution simply because i do not have to change anyhin,
the info is already available in /var/adm/messages.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Orig Question

I have SunOS 4.1.4, SunOS 4.1.3 and SunOS 4.1.3_U1 machines.
How do i keep track of who is using su commands on these OS.
Thanks Will summarize.

All su attempts (successful or not) are logged in /var/adm/messages.

It should be trivial to write a script that will parse that file and
send you a daily report of who has done a su the previous day.

Hope that helps.

Ariane.

Add the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf: (those are TABS between the columns)

auth.debug /var/log/authlog auth.info /var/log/syslog auth.info /dev/console

and then kill -HUP your syslog process.

All su activity will be written to /var/log/authlog, /var/log/syslog, and /dev/console. Todd. ------------------------------------------------------------------- you should check out /var/adm/sulog

there are also so files that you may wanna look at in /etc/default/

one of them is "su" that applies.
