How do I turn on the security log in AIX on a PSeries RISC6000 box? How would I access and review the security log and how much space would turning on the security log take up on the box? Thanks....
 
If by security log, you mean "audit" then:

man audit

Audit can be very granular if you wish. I use it to monitor simple things like user account creations/deletions/changes as well as groups. The size of log completely depends on what you wish to log. My files average less than 1 mb a month.
