I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab. He comes from the Microsoft Windows world and is not a *nix trained person. I know I can configure logwatch. I can also create a script containing various 'aureport' runs into a cron job. Any recommendations for a GUI-based tool that would be easy for him to learn? Dave M

I've been using a free solution called LogAnalyzer, and am pretty happy with it: http://loganalyzer.adiscon.com/ It has a web interface, and uses a database to store all the log info.? It can be easily accessed, given specific filtered queries, etc. Check out the "Online Demo" page to see how it looks. ______________________________________________________________________ If life gives you lemons, keep them-- because hey.. free lemons.
