System Administration Guide: Security Services

Example—Creating an Audit Directory of Last Resort

All systems that run the auditing service should have a local file system that can be used if no other file system is available. In this example, a file system is being added to a system named egret. Since this file system is only used locally, none of the steps for a file server are followed.


# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0
# mkdir /var/audit/egret
# grep egret /etc/vfstab
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s1  /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s1  /var/audit/egret ufs  2  yes  -
# tunefs -m 0 /var/audit/egret
# mount /var/audit/egret
# mkdir /var/audit/egret/files
# chmod -R 750 /var/audit/egret/files
