How to Disable Auditing

If BSM is no longer required at some point, you can disable it by running the bsmunconv command. See the bsmconv(1M) man page.

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

  2. Bring the system into single-user mode.


    # /etc/telinit 1
    

    See the telinit(1M) man page for more information.

  3. Run the script to disable auditing.

    Change to the /etc/security directory, and execute the bsmunconv script there.


    # cd /etc/security
    # ./bsmunconv
    

  4. Bring the system into multiuser mode.


    # /etc/telinit 6
    


    Note –

    The bsmunconv script removes the line in the /etc/system file that allows users to abort the system with the Stop-A keyboard sequence. If you want to continue to prevent users from aborting the system with the Stop-A keyboard sequence after you run the bsmunconv script, you must reenter into the /etc/system file the line that reads: set abort_enable=0.
