SW7700 security messages:

Pay attention to the following points when editing the file “/etc/syslog.conf”:
■
The description must start from a fresh line and begin with a pound key #.
■
Use tab character to separate the selectors/action pairs instead of space.
■
No redundant spaces should be left behind the name of the file.
3 When the log files “config” and “security” are created, and the file
“/etc/syslog.conf” is modified, perform the following commands to send a HUP
signal to the system demon syslogd, so that the syslogd can read the configuration
file “/etc/syslog.conf” again.
ps -ae | grep syslogd 147
kill -HUP 147
After the operations are performed, the system can record information in the
corresponding logging files
Configuring the facility, severity, filter and the file “syslog.conf” integrally makes it
possible to perform the detailed classification for the purpose of information
filtering.
If you are using a UNIX workstation as a syslog server, consult your UNIX system
manager manual for syslog configuration information.
Example: Log
