H.3 Secure Logging Server Startup Commands

The Secure Logging Server (lengine) is the server component in the Novell auditing system. It is installed on the server that you want to manage the flow of information to and from the auditing system.

Lengine automatically loads MDB, the Directory interface. Before starting the logging server, MDB verifies if Novell eDirectory is ready. If eDirectory is not ready, the logging server does not load.

NOTE:On Windows systems, the logging server loads, but it automatically falls back to Windows registry configuration.

The startup commands for NetWare, Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems are reviewed in the following sections.

H.3.1 Starting and Stopping the Secure Logging Server on NetWare

On NetWare, the startup script for the Secure Logging Server is included in the auditsvr.ncf file. Auditsvr.ncf is added to the server’s autoexec.ncf file during installation so lengine.nlm loads each time the server restarts.

To manually load the Secure Logging Server on NetWare, enter

load lengine

or

load auditsvr.ncf

If you want to prevent the Secure Logging Server from being unloaded by users with access to the server console, you can append the -n switch to the server startup script. (For example, load lengine -n .)

To manually unload the Secure Logging Server on NetWare, enter

unload lengine

NOTE:Lengine.nlm and auditsvr.ncf are located in the sys:\system directory.

You must individually start or stop each logging server in the tree.

H.3.2 Starting and Stopping the Secure Logging Server on Windows

On Windows, the startup script for the Secure Logging Server is included in the naudit.exe file. Naudit.exe has an Automatic startup type so lengine.exe loads each time the server restarts.

To manually load or unload the Secure Logging Server on Windows, you must start or stop the Novell Audit Manager service:

  1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

  2. Open the Services window.

    • On Window NT, select Services.
    • On Windows 2000 and XP, select Administrative Tools > Services.
  3. In the list of installed services, right-click Novell Audit Manager, then select Start or Stop.

You must individually start or stop each logging server in the tree.

H.3.3 Starting and Stopping the Secure Logging Server on Linux

On Linux, the startup script for the Secure Logging Server is /etc/init.d/novell-naudit . This startup script loads lengine each time the server restarts.

To manually start the Secure Logging Server on Linux, enter

/etc/init.d/novell-naudit start

To stop the Secure Logging Server on Linux, enter

/etc/init.d/novell-naudit stop

You must individually start or stop each logging server in the tree.

H.3.4 Starting and Stopping the Secure Logging Server on Solaris

On Solaris, the startup script for the Secure Logging Server is /etc/init.d/naudit . This startup script loads lengine each time the server restarts.

To manually start the Secure Logging Server on Solaris, enter

/etc/init.d/naudit start

To stop the Secure Logging Server on Solaris, enter

/etc/init.d/naudit stop

You must individually start or stop each logging server in the tree.
