Hi, Original Question (Summarised): Can you use syslogd to email "su" attempts. Answer: No. syslog.conf only allows 4 possibilities in the last field. /file @some_other_system user1,user2,... * * means all logged in users. However: You can use some products to do this, suggested products were: * sudo (Superuser do) - Allows a system administrator to give certain users (or group of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments. * syslog-ng * logwatcher * swatch Thank you to the following people for there responses. Beven Broun, Cian O'Sullivan, Ric Anderson, Hendrik Visage, Bruno Saverio Delbono Nico Wieland Robert Brockway Mike Arnold John T. Douglass Tim Wort. I will be looking firstly at "sudo", then "logwatcher" Thank you all again.
