Re: Enormous Sulog files

[Guest_imported]

hai everybody!<br>for your info, Currently I'm using AIX ver 4.3 which runs in Risc/6000 machine.<br>I encounter this problem, my SULOG (/var/adm)file size is more than 100mb. As fas as I am concern basically the size of SULOG files is small whereby it consists only information on those who use the su command.In my case, only selected users can perform the su command.<br>When I check, SULOG file only contains the info. below.<br><br>SU 03/06 10.51 + TTY0 ROOT-TP04<br>SU 03/06 10.52 + TTY0 ROOT-HQ04<br>SU 03/06 10.53 + TTY0 ROOT-BK06<br>SU 03/06 10.53 + TTY0 ROOT-TIP08<br><br>The above is partial of the whole file. I detected that every users who commence login into the syatem, ROOT id will SU all the id concerned.Just imagine if 700 users operate the login session at the same time SULOG files increase<br><br>Please assist on this matter<br><br>Thanking you in advance<br><br><br>Regards,<br><br>LIROS<br>14/08/2000<br>

Liros,<br><br>You can keep the size of sulog down bu calling this script from cron:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><b><br>#!/usr/bin/ksh<br><br>cd /var/adm<br>mv sulog sulog.old<br>touch sulog<br></font></b><br>I don't know why every login is creating an sulog entry though, I'll have to check my system at work for that. <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=
