Don't Criticize, CONTRIBUTE ...
Which leads me to note that many of the UNIX command line suggestions I see on here have better and faster ways. Sometimes I see things that are just downright improper hacks that work, but poorly.
These people are doing their best, paploo, and, as pointed out, our community has the ability to improve on these hints via user contributions. If you see "downright improper hacks" that can be done "better and faster," then I suggest, instead of contributing a hint that tells us all what clueless newbies we are, that you instead contribute by telling us the "better", "faster", and supposedly "proper" way of doing things. "If I care to listen to every criticism, let alone act on them, then this shop may as well be closed for all other businesses. I have learned to do my best, and if the end result is good then I do not care for any criticism, but if the end result is not good, then even the praise of ten angels would not make the difference." Abraham Lincoln Mike P.S. To the sudo editor you don't have to publish every hint you get, y'know.

I find this discussion very interesting. I'm a mac guy who got immersed in Solaris at work. In Solaris use of the su command IS logged in /var/log/sulog. I'm wondering why this would be different under Macos x?

sudo, on my rig, logs to /var/log/system.log

sure, running the su command is logged, but then you are root and nothing you do from that point on (as root) is logged.

I too am a long time 'Mac Guy' with an OT request. I recently have been using more and more Solaris at work and was wondering if you could recommend any websites or publications for an individual with unix knowledge but a more Mac style leaning. Sites like this one or VersionTracker are examples of what I am looking for. Any comments would be gretly appreciated.

where, whether and at what level logs are sent is determined by the /etc/syslog.conf file which syslogd reads at startup. It could be different for any machine you are on. The syslog.conf man page explains how to change any of the above mentioned logging attributes. |
