Sun Enabling Solaris Audit log: Solaris 9

Dear All,

I have one of my Servers, running Solaris 9. I wanna enable the Audit log enabling, the way I did in Solaris 10 Servers.

After running, the bsmconv script, giving the reboots, modifying all the audit files in /etc/security, the audit is enabled, but the audit file which shall be updating in human readable format, its missing.

The /var/adm/messages show the following error.

syslogd: line 47: unknown facility name "audit"

Now, this must be because of the following entry in syslog.conf which is not supported by Solaris 9.
audit.notice /var/adm/auditlog

Please tell me, what do I need to do on my Solaris 9 box, which will show me the audit logs in readable format, because enabling audit logs but not being able to read them, makes no sense to anyone.

Thanks for your help!

Regards
Sumeet

bsmconv(1M)						  System Administration Commands					       bsmconv(1M)

NAME
bsmconv, bsmunconv - enable or disable the Basic Security Module (BSM) on Solaris SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/bsmconv [rootdir...] /etc/security/bsmunconv [rootdir...] DESCRIPTION
The bsmconv and bsmunconv scripts are used to enable or disable the BSM features on a Solaris system. The optional argument rootdir is a list of one or more root directories of diskless clients that have already been configured. See smdiskless(1M). To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client, a server, or a stand-alone system, logon as super-user to the system being converted and use the bsmconv or bsmunconv commands without any options. To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client from that client's server, logon to the server as super-user and use bsmconv, specifying the root directory of each diskless client you wish to affect. For example, the command: myhost# bsmconv /export/root/client1 /export/root/client2 enables BSM on the two machines named client1 and client2. While the command: myhost# bsmconv enables BSM only on the machine called myhost. It is no longer necessary to enable BSM on both the server and its diskless clients. After running bsmconv the system can be configured by editing the files in /etc/security. Each diskless client has its own copy of configu- ration files in its root directory. You might want to edit these files before rebooting each client. Following the completion of either script, the affected system(s) should be rebooted to allow the auditing subsystem to come up properly initialized. FILES
The following files are created by bsmconv: /etc/security/device_maps Administrative file defining the mapping of device special files to allocatable device names. /etc/security/device_allocate Administrative file defining parameters for device allocation. ATTRIBUTES
