How to change the logging of the su command

    Hi,

    I am using AIX 5.3 TL9.

    On our servers, system logging is set to log all messages at the info level to the system log; e.g.

    *.info;mail.none;local2.none;local3.none;daemon.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

    One of the problems is that the su command generates entries in both the sulog and in the system log. This seems excessive, and I was wondering is there a way to change the su command from sending messages using auth:notice to say auth:debug. That way the successful use of su will only be logged in the sulog.

    Thanks
