Auth module debug log
How can I log the auth and security module messages in AIX syslog ? I need to see all authentication requests coming (when users login) and the calls made for authenticating these users.

Target system is AIX 6.1

Probably you want more than just syslog, but you can start with
auth.debug, or auth.info, or auth.notice in /etc/syslog.conf.
Or multiple entries, just to learn the differences.
Code:
#       kern,user,mail,daemon, auth,... (see syslogd(AIX Commands Reference)) 
auth.warn               /logs/syslog/auth.warn rotate size 100k files 5
auth.notice             /logs/syslog/auth.notice rotate size 100k files 5
auth.info               /logs/syslog/auth.info rotate size 100k files 5

Does this take care of 20% - or 80% of your question?
