Get thee to /var/log, young man! :) Though you're interested in the features of sudo, which don't all end up over there. Look over the man page for sudo, which talks a bit about it works, or try "grep 'sudo' /var/log/system.log" to generate a list of what activity sudo threw in the main system log file. Additionally, sudo also has a mechanism to report activity via email to the root account. Check mail with "sudo mail" and you should see a series of diagnostic messages that were sent in, reporting failed sudo attempts and what people did with successful ones, etc. Really, it's good enough to render traditional use of the root account as totally archaic, way too dangerous & unchecked to be trustworthy. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
