How to Enable Logging of Solstice AdminSuite Operations

You do not need to quit a Solstice AdminSuite application or the Solstice Launcher, if they are already started.

1. Become root.

2. Edit the /etc/syslog.conf file and add an entry at the bottom of the file that follows this format:

   user.info filename

   Note that filename must be the absolute path name of the file, for example: /var/log/admin.log.

3. Create the file, filename, if it does not already exist:

   # touch filename

4. Make the changes to the /etc/syslog.conf file take effect by stopping and starting the syslog service:

   # /etc/init.d/syslog stop Stopping the syslog service. # /etc/init.d/syslog start syslog service starting. #

   Solstice AdminSuite operations will now be logged to the file you specified.
