 Remote syslog configuration not documented. (TL-3219)
WORKAROUND: To configure remote syslog, complete these steps:
a. On the target system as root, edit /etc/syslog.conf.
b. Add the following line:
*.* @remote.log.host.domain.com
where remote.log.host.domain.com is the host name or IP address of the remote host
that will log messages for the target host. Note that *.* indicates that all log messages
are to be sent to the remote host and a more restrictive selection could be made. See
the man page for syslog.conf for more information.
The remote system may need to be configured to receive log messages. On many Linux
systems, this requires adding the -r parameter to the command line for the syslog
daemon. Depending on the system, this may be done in /etc/sysconfig/syslog by
modifying the value set in the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable.
c. Restart the syslog daemon by entering this command:
service syslog restart
d. Verify that messages are being logged in the remote system. For example, use the
“logger” utility, as in, “logger test message”. This should result in an entry such as
“Jun 29 15:29:51 vtsdev24 bill: test message” appearing in the remote system's log
file.
Note If auditing is turned off, the kernel audit log messages will be sent to syslog,
which will subsequently be sent over the wire in clear text.
 Configuring a closed access account without access to cartridges is not
documented. (TL-3222, TL-3277)
WORKAROUND: Complete these steps:
a. Click “Access Control” on the navigation bar.
b. Click “Restore CLOSED Defaults”.
c. Expand “Users and Groups”.
d. Add a user account.
e. Add a group
f. Deselect the new user in the Users drop-down list and select it again to enable the
“Change Group” option.
g. Click “Change Group”.
h. Expand “Rights”.
i. Select the 1.3 Virtual Tape Operations access right but do not grant access to any
of its dependent resources.
