I am trying to see what commands are typed in my terminal and serial port. For that I am using auditd daemon which helps me in auditing files.
I thought of a creating audit rules on /dev/tty and /dev/ttyAMA0 for seeing whats happening on terminal and serial device respectively.
But this records only the echo on tty. I cant audit all the commands typed on the terminal. I enabled tty logging in the PAM file too by adding
in /etc/pam.d/sshd file.
Is there any other way to do this auditing. I want to use auditd daemon only so that all my auditing log is in one file.

HI there. I am studying System administration right now and am stuck on a question that I have failed to find the answer for in my book.
The question is: Do device files need to be in the /dev directory and to they need to follow a naming convention?

We've been having problems with our NetWorker Silo servers (running HP-UX) concerning the tape device files under /dev/rmt. For some reason they are constantly being removed/recreated (up to a couple of times per hour):

I have some Solaris 9 systems and I'm interested in using the "fm" audit class to track changes to sensitive files but it's too verbose for it to be auditing to that level for EVERY file, so I was wondering if there were a way of restricting the audit of those events to particular files.

tty
TTY(4) Linux Programmer's Manual TTY(4)NAME
tty - controlling terminal
DESCRIPTION
The file /dev/tty is a character file with major number 5 and minor number 0, usually of mode 0666 and owner.group root.tty. It is a syn-
onym for the controlling terminal of a process, if any.
In addition to the ioctl(2) requests supported by the device that tty refers to, the ioctl(2) request TIOCNOTTY is supported.
TIOCNOTTY
Detach the calling process from its controlling terminal.
If the process is the session leader, then SIGHUP and SIGCONT signals are sent to the foreground process group and all processes in the
current session lose their controlling tty.
This ioctl(2) call only works on file descriptors connected to /dev/tty. It is used by daemon processes when they are invoked by a user at
a terminal. The process attempts to open /dev/tty. If the open succeeds, it detaches itself from the terminal by using TIOCNOTTY, while
if the open fails, it is obviously not attached to a terminal and does not need to detach itself.
