  1. First We need to enable Auditing with audit server for file access as shown below as bold. System security audits currently enabled for:   ACL   Authorization   Audit:         illformed   Breakin:       dialup,local,remote,network,detached   Logfailure:    batch,dialup,local,remote,network,subprocess,detached   FILE access:     Failure:     read,write,execute,delete,control If "FILE access" is NOT enabled, run below command to get it enabled. Command :    set audit/audit/enable=access=failure/class=file 2. Choose file for which you want to have file access auditing enabled. For Example :  File name :  DSA10:[TMP]REN.COM Firstly, check if  required ACL is defined for this file or NOT with below command  Command :  DIR/SECURITY UTIL:[TMP]REN.COM; Directory UTIL:[TMP] REN.COM;3                ...

OPC_SYSLOG Syslog Client for OpenVMS OPC_SYSLOG is used to read OpenVMS OPCOM messages and to transfer them to a SYSLOG server Installation OPC_SYSLOG is supplied as an OpenVMS kit and is installed with VMSINSTAL. The installation procedure asks for Device and Directory where OPC_SYSLOG should be installed. The rest of the installation is done automatically. So that OPC_SYSLOG is started automatically after a reboot of the OpenVMS machine, the OPC_SYSLOG startup command file OPC_SYSLOG_STARTUP.COM must either be entered in SYS $ MANAGER: SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM or in the SYSMAN data file. OPC_SYSLOG should be started as early as possible after a reboot. However, it must be ensured that TCPIP has already been started on the OpenVMS computer at this time. Starting and stopping OPC_SYSLOG The two command files OPC_SYSLOG_STARTUP.COM and OPC_SYSLOG_SHUTDWN.COM are used to start or stop OPC_SYSLOG Start OPC_SYSLOG To start OPC_SYSLOG, the startup co...

1.   System SCSnode name should not be more then 6 character. 2.    DECnet_area_number should be a number between 1 and 63. 3.    DECnet_node_number should be a number 1 and 1023. 4.    SCSSYSTEMID = (DECnet_area_number * 1024) + DECnet_node_number 5.    VAX : 32-bit computer system with CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) architecture and                     4  Gigabytes of virtual address space 6.    ALPHA : 64-bit computer system with RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) architecture                             and  8 Terabytes of virtual address space 7.  SCSSYSTEMID holds the low order 32 bits and SCSSYSTEMIDH holds the high order 16 bits 8.   SCSSYSTEMID = ((DECnet area number) * 1024) + (DECnet node number) 9.   MAIN CLUSTER PROCE...
