Many of you will know this, but Solaris (even their much improved 9) does a
poor job of logging. To get it to log connections, password attempts,
refused connections, and su, append the following to /etc/syslog.conf
auth.info /var/log/authlog
daemon.info /var/log/daemons (you need to create the file)
auth.notice /var/log/authlog
Q#1 Somebody told me that Solaris 9 does indeed ship with a 32-bit kernel.
I thought 8 was the last version to give you a choice.
Q#2 I know I saw that an edit has to take place to get VNMR 6.1C's
accounting software to work with Solaris 8 or 9. However, VNMR 6.1B has a
different script file that doesn't require the edit previously mentioned.
However, the files in /vnmr/adm/bin all refer to the log file
/var/adm/wtmp, which has changed to /var/adm/wtmpx in Solaris 8 and 9.
I've edited all (I think) instances of wtmp in /vnmr/adm/bin but I can't
get vnmr_accounting to calculate using it. Anybody know what I've missed?
