How to Configure the audit_warn Email Alias

The audit_warn script generates mail to an email alias that is called audit_warn. To send this mail to a valid email address, you can follow one of the options that are described in Step 2:

1. Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser.

   The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. Configure the audit_warn email alias.

   Choose one of the following options:

   • OPTION 1 – Replace the audit_warn email alias with another email account in the audit_warn script.

     Change the email alias in the following line of the script:

     ADDRESS=audit_warn # standard alias for audit alerts

   • OPTION 2 – Redirect the audit_warn email to another mail account.

     In this case, you would add the audit_warn email alias to the appropriate mail aliases file. You could add the alias to the local /etc/mail/aliases file or to the mail_aliases database in the name space. The new entry would resemble the following if the root mail account was made a member of the audit_warn email alias:

     audit_warn: root
