audsys error + HPUX

If we encounter below error on console after server reboot :


Must specify a backup file now !
current audit file size is 1469344 kilobytes!!!
an attempt to switch to the backup file failed.

Solution:

This error comes when audit file is full , so must specify next audit file. audsys captures audit records.

1. #audsys -f     -- to turn off auditing

2. #audsys -c filename     --- specify current aud file

OR #audsys -x filename      --- specify next aud file

    filename will gets appear into /.secure/etc/audnames

3. #audsys -n       --- turn on auditing
