Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Problem with structure of authlog in regard to an external log Auditing system. Post 302851559 by jim mcnamara on Monday 9th of September 2013 08:49:43 AM

Can you ask auditing to look for a different file name?

Assume they are looking for: auth.log create -> auth.log1

Simpleminded exmple:
Code:
tail -f auth.log | sed 's/Failed none/Login okay/' >> auth.log.1

Otherwise if they cannot change the file they look at, you will have to hack into configuration files:

Code:
auth.info;auth.debug  /var/log/foo

Then play the sed game above
