Full Discussion: no sshd log
Operating Systems Solaris no sshd log Post 302071032 by dsbeerf on Tuesday 11th of April 2006 02:24:13 PM
Old 04-11-2006
In MY /etc/syslog.conf, I have something telling the 'AUTH' messages where to 'go':

auth.info <tab><tab><tab> ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)

If I do NOT have the machine 'loghost' defined on my network, AND I want all my 'logs' written locally,
I add an "alias" for 'THIS' machine as loghost in /etc/hosts.

If you have an entry in /etc/hosts for your machine that looks like this:

10.232.232.123 myhost.mydomain.com myhost

Then ADD 'loghost' to make the entry look like:

10.232.232.123 myhost.mydomain.com myhost loghost

THAT way, all your logs will stay on 'this' machine.

This should also work for you. Make SURE the 'whitespace' between columns are TABS, not 'spaces'.
There should be *NO* spaces between columns in /etc/syslog.conf.

Also, I do a:

touch /var/log/authlog

To make sure the file is there for syslog to write to, although I am NOT sure if this is necessary.

ds.log

ds.log(4)							   File Formats 							 ds.log(4)

NAME

       ds.log - Availability Suite data services log file

DESCRIPTION

       The  /var/adm/ds.log file contains the Availability Suite data services command log. The administration commands log activities to the file
       in the format:

	 date time product: message

       Note that when the size of the log file exceeds 10 Mbytes, ds.log is renamed  /var/adm/ds.log.bak  and a new /var/adm/ds.log file  is  cre-
       ated.

       The ds.log fields are:

       date

	   The	date format is mmm nn, where mmm  is  the local three-character abbreviation for the month and nn is the day of the month on which
	   the event occurred.

       time

	   The time of the event, in hh:mm:ss format.

       product

	   A product code that identifies which component of the data services produced the event. The code is separated  from	the  message  that
	   follows by a colon (:) and a space.

       message

	   A  message  that  can extend over  more  than  one  line describing the event that occurred. The second or following lines are not pre-
	   fixed by  the  date, time, and product code strings.

EXAMPLES

       The example below shows sample ds.log file content:

	 Jan 25 05:26:17 ii: iiboot suspend cluster tag <none>
	 Jan 25 05:32:02 ii: iiboot resume cluster tag <none>
