Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I have seen that file in etc/syslog.conf. I want to monitor some of my devices, to know exactly who has log in, who is doing what on my system... Can you advise me a script or any tool to examine the log files as I want to consider this machine as a server?

Is there anything in particular you want to do with this?
