System Administration Guide: Security Services

ProcedureHow to Audit Device Allocation

By default, the device allocation commands are in the other audit class.

  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. Preselect the ot class for auditing.

    Add the ot class to the flags line of the audit_control file. The file would appear similar to the following:


    # audit_control file
    dir:/var/audit
    flags:lo,ot
    minfree:20
    naflags:lo

    For detailed instructions, see How to Modify the audit_control File.
