you need the following entry in

in /etc/syslog.conf

*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages

then issue
kill -HUP "syslog pid"

by adding this to the syslog.conf and issue the command, what does it do?

Am I able to list out all the users that logged in to the specific system?

*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages

then issue
kill -HUP "syslog pid"

Hi Jennifer,

There is a different way to find out who actualy logged into the system.

"last" displays this to you.
"last -R" Also shows you where they came from.
"lastb" shows you who tried, but where refused.

If you want this in a file just redirect the output :

"last -R 1>/tmp/lastlogin"

"man last" if you need more info on the command.
