Hi to all who have taken the trouble to respond:
To Porter:
I appreciate your somewhat acerbic remarks about
"Then you either don't comprehend the seriousness or don't care about security.
If you had a bull rampaging in your china shop would you be trying to find the farmer or trying to protect your merchendise?"
Comprehending the seriousness is not an issue - I am well aware of it. The situation is simply that I cannot get *anything* done without being able to produce evidence of malpractice. I work for a *very* big outfit where money - not sense - counts; I am sure we have all seen similar.
I have *no* control over the server admin and even if I could get the root password changed I have reason to believe that the villain is in 'cahoots' with system support and would simply get the relevent info and carry on as before.
I need to find a 'smoking gun'
Thanks to all for your input - any other suggestions will be most appreciated - EG is there a way of putting a 'watch' on a file to log access/edit etc etc
Thanks to all again

NAME
emsweb - starts the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (a Web interface)
SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool ( ) is used to monitor resource instances and manages requests created on these instances.
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched through
the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool. A user who does not have superuser privileges has
read-only access to the requests area in the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool and cannot modify requests.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable.
If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only
happen if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is
used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (emsweb) invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any other
browser (Netscape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as shown below:
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true:
o The command is invoked with the option.
o The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true:
o The command is invoked with option.
o The environment variable is set.
o The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server and the Mozilla
browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and the host in the
DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal interface is started.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key is generated. The bypass key enables the user to access the Web
interface without having to provide login information again.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
Opens the terminal interface for managing requests created to monitor resource instances regardless of the current setting of the
environment variable.
You can also start the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool using one of the following methods:
o Invoke and select the Event Monitoring Service (character mode) functional area to launch the terminal user interface and the
Event Monitoring Service (Web-based Interface) to launch the Web-based tool
o Invoke the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool Web interface by typing the URL in the address bar of your browser, where hostname
is the name of the server
o Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and select the Event Monitoring Service tool from the Configure -> HP-UX
Configuration menu
Online Help
After the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool is started, the online help provides details on how to use the tool.
RETURN VALUES
Upon completion, emsweb returns one of the following values:
o 0 Successful
o 1 An error occurred
