I need to find some answers for this, according to the manuals this BSM auditing when turned on uses up a lot of disk space, my question is how much disk will the logs use up every month?
Also does anybody also know what is the equivalent of solaris BSM on hpux, does HPUX have any built in auditing capabilities similiar to solaris?
