Enabling and Disabling the Audit Logging Service

Use dcecp to enable or disable the audit record logging service of the audit daemon. The aud enable command enables the logging service, and the aud disable command disables it.

You may want to disable the logging service when the audit trail file becomes too large, and then enable it again after the audit trail has been backed up and rewound (using the aud rewind command).

Using the enable or disable commands enable or disable audit record logging to the central audit trail file. Applications such as the security server and the time server use their own audit trail files and are not affected by use of enable or disable.

The aud stop command stops the audit daemon.
