How do you all handle your /var/adudit logs?
I know about audit -n etc. But what do you use to compress or handle them? This is on a Solaris 9 box. I know about logadm.conf etc, but is there something else or a better way to compress/delete these logs?

tks

 
In a company I worked some time ago they had a script that:
- closed the actual audit log
- renamed it with the actual date
- compressed it
- moved to another server (nfs or automatic ftp), where security staff could take a look at it, and after some time the logs were moved to TSM and deleted from this server
- restarted the audit process to a new log file

Don't remember the options for audit, but I think man should give you what you need.
