Also did you remember to:
thanks hicksd8 for your reply.
i am also concerning about syslog.conf format. However, we have reverted the changes by replacing the backup file. Then the system-log still in maintenance mode.
I have done the svcadm refresh system-log but issue still persists.
Is there any different between svcadm refresh system-log and svcadm refresh system/system-log?

Hi,
I have read about a vulnerability that allows to lock any IDE/SATA hard drive with a password, unless the BIOS "freezes" the drive's (no-password) status.

audit
audit(2) System Calls audit(2)NAME
audit - write a record to the audit log
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lbsm-lsocket-lnsl [ library... ]
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>
int audit(caddr_t record, int length);
DESCRIPTION
The audit() function queues a record for writing to the system audit log. The data pointed to by record is queued for the log after a mini-
mal consistency check, with the length parameter specifying the size of the record in bytes. The data should be a well-formed audit
record as described by audit.log(4).
The kernel validates the record header token type and length, and sets the time stamp value before writing the record to the audit log.
The kernel does not do any preselection for user-level generated events. If the audit policy is set to include sequence or trailer tokens,
the kernel will append them to the record.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The audit() function will fail if:
E2BIG The record length is greater than the maximum allowed record length.
EFAULT The record argument points outside the process's allocated address space.
EINVAL The header token in the record is invalid.
ENOTSUP Solaris Audit is not defined for this system.
EPERM The {PRIV_PROC_AUDIT} privilege is not asserted in the effective set of the calling process.
USAGE
Only privileged processes can successfully execute this call.
