Operating Systems AIX How can i track the Communication between LPARs? Post 302801483 by -=XrAy=- on Thursday 2nd of May 2013 05:05:02 AM

Hi,

i'm not a specalist in these security features of AIX. But as far as i know, you have to configure the audit subsystem and the syslog facility to get these information.

Auditing and Accounting on AIX - IBM Redbooks

Here you can define which file in which way should be monitored:
Example: [/etc/security/audit/objects]
Code:
/etc/security/audit/config:
        w = "AUD_CONFIG_WR"

/etc/security/audit/objects:
        w = "FILE_Open"

/etc/syslog.conf:
        w = "FILE_Open"

/etc/passwd:
        w = "PASSWORD_Change"

A successfull configuration will generate a entry in /var/adm/authlog like:
Code:
May  2 10:51:13 xxxxxxxxx auth|security:notice audit: FILE_Open ; root ; OK ; Global ;   write event detected ;/etc/security/tsd/tsd.dat

You also need to configure your syslog facility to get the required information.
Example: [/etc/syslog.conf]
Code:
auth.info                                /var/adm/authlog rotate size 5m files 10

Restart syslogd:
Code:
stopsrc -s syslogd
startsrc -s syslogd

Finally the "last" command will give you some informationen about (previous) logins.

Hope this helps a bit...

NAME
audit_binfile - generation of Solaris audit logs SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so DESCRIPTION
The audit_binfile plugin module for Solaris audit, /usr/lib/security/audit_binfile.so, writes binary audit data to files as configured in audit_control(4); it is the default plugin for the Solaris audit daemon auditd(1M). Its output is described by audit.log(4). The audit_binfile plugin is loaded by auditd if audit_control contains one or more lines defining audit directories by means of the dir: specification or if audit_control has a plugin: specification of name=audit_binfile.so. OBJECT ATTRIBUTES
The p_dir and p_minfree attributes are equivalent to the dir: and minfree: lines described in audit_control. If both the dir: line and the p_dir attribute are used, the plugin combines all directories into a single list with those specified by means of dir: at the front of the list. If both the minfree and the p_minfree attributes are given, the p_minfree value is used. EXAMPLES
The following directives cause audit_binfile.so to be loaded, specify the directories for writing audit logs, and specify the percentage of required free space per directory. flags: lo,ad,-fm naflags: lo,ad plugin: name=audit_binfile.so; p_minfree=20; p_dir=/etc/security/jedgar/eggplant, /etc/security/jedgar.aux/eggplant, /etc/security/global/eggplant ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT Level |MT-Safe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Evolving | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
