bsmconv(1M) System Administration Commands bsmconv(1M)NAME
bsmconv, bsmunconv - enable or disable Solaris Auditing
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/bsmconv [rootdir]...
/etc/security/bsmunconv [rootdir]...
DESCRIPTION
The bsmconv and bsmunconv scripts are used to enable or disable the BSM
features on a Solaris system. The optional argument rootdir is a list
of one or more root directories of diskless clients that have already
been configured. See smdiskless(1M).
To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client, a server, or a stand-
alone system, logon as super-user to the system being converted and use
the bsmconv or bsmunconv commands without any options.
To enable or disable BSM on a diskless client from that client's
server, logon to the server as super-user and use bsmconv, specifying
the root directory of each diskless client you wish to affect. For
example, the command:
myhost# bsmconv /export/root/client1 /export/root/client2
enables BSM on the two machines named client1 and client2. While the
command:
myhost# bsmconv
enables BSM only on the machine called myhost. It is no longer neces‐
sary to enable BSM on both the server and its diskless clients.
After running bsmconv the system can be configured by editing the files
in /etc/security. Each diskless client has its own copy of configura‐
tion files in its root directory. You might want to edit these files
before rebooting each client.
Following the completion of either script, the affected system(s)
should be rebooted to allow the auditing subsystem to come up properly
initialized.
FILES
The following files are created by bsmconv:
/etc/security/device_maps
Administrative file defining the mapping of device special files to
allocatable device names.
/etc/security/device_allocate
Administrative file defining parameters for device allocation.
