Auditing events

Hi there,

I want to enable auditing for the following events in a critical AIX UNIX server by editing the /etc/syslog.conf file:

Authentication events (login success, login failure, logout)
Privilege use events (change to another user etc.)
System state events (shutdown, reboot)
Batch events (execution of batch processes)
Clock/Time Setting Change
Syslog Messages Cleared
User Account Administration

For testing purpose, I want to turn off all other events but for the ones listed above. Please let me know how it's done.

Thanks,
V
