BSM audit_user file

BSM audit_user file

Post by chunm » Thu, 31 Oct 2002 19:45:15



During using BSM, I met a problem.
I willing to audit all users including root and not to audit at all
about user "foo". I set up audit_control and audit_user like
following.

1. audit_control
flags:lo,ad,-all,^-fc

2. audit_user
foo::all

When user logins as "foo", no audit happen. But, When he switchs to
root using "su", the problem happen. After he become root, BSM audit
occurs. I hope no audit happen even after "su".

So, I have some question.
1. What does "username" in audit_user file mean? audit ID or effective
user ID?
2. How can I solve this problem?

Hope advice.
Thanks in advance,
Chun-Mok Chung

 
 
 

1. BSM audit_user file

During setting up BSM in Solaris8 on Ultra10 workstation, I met a problem.

about user "foo". I set up audit_control and audit_user like
following.

When user logins as "foo", no audit is generated. But, When he switchs to
root using "su", the problem happen. After he become root, BSM audit is
generated. I hope no audit is generated even after "su".
