-
- If I want to do Sun password shadowing without doing any of the C2 auditing,
- do I need to build a kernel with the SYSAUDIT option enabled?
-
- I already tried to convert to password shadowing but it didn't work because
- (I'm told) I didn't create the auditing UIDs AUpwdauthd and AUyppasswdd.
- I didn't think I'd need them, but according to various people, I do.
- So maybe I need SYSAUDIT as well.
-
- PLEASE REPLY BY EMAIL and I'll summarise.
-
- My current kernel config file contains:
-
- #
- # The following options are for accounting and auditing. SYSAUDIT
- # should be removed unless you are using the C2 security features.
- #
- options SYSACCT # process accounting, see acct(2) & sa(8)
- #options SYSAUDIT # C2 auditing for security
