Suspicious Unix Log File Entries and Reporting Considerations
In my Kickstart paper I covered basic Unix log files with a configuration file that gathered everything. I would like to expand on that and now cover messages found in those log files that would cause concern and require further investigation. My selection to continue on this subject lies in my inability to find comprehensive information that provides direction to administrators, particularly those in federal government, on what messages in log files could require critical attention and reporting.

An Approach to UNIX Security Logging
Off-line intrusion detection systems rely on logged data. However, the logging mechanism may be complicated and time-consuming and the amount of logged data tends to be very large. To counter these problems we suggest a very simple and cheap logging method, light-weight logging. It can be easily implemented on a Unix system, particularly on the Solaris operating system from Sun. It is based on logging every invocation of the exec(2) system call together with its arguments. We use data from realistic intrusion experiments to show the benefits of the proposed logging and in particular that this logging method consumes as little system resources as comparable methods, while still being more effective.

Unix and Sarbanes-Oxley: a Management and Auditors Guide
This document is designed to assist auditors of publicly traded companies and Security Exchange Commission (SEC) registrants to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley act ("the act") by reviewing the generally accepted IT control framework called Cobit-12 and applying it towards a Unix environment. This document can also be used by management to understand the requirements that their auditors will be looking for when they perform their compliance tests.
