Hi Experts,

i am getting auth alert messages displaying on users sessions console. How to stop such messhages displaying on console.

e.g.

May  2 17:49:05 ldom5 sudo: [ID 702911 auth.alert]   dinesh : command not allowed ; TTY=pts/2 ; PWD=/export/home/dinesh ; USER=root ; COMMAND=invalidCommand

Solaris machine details: SunOS ldom5 5.11 11.2 sun4v sparc sun4v

Syslog.conf file:

root@ldom5:/export/home/dinesh# cat /etc/syslog.conf

# This file is processed by m4 so be careful to quote (`') names

# that match m4 reserved words.  Also, within ifdef's, arguments

*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                     operator

*.alert                                         root

*.emerg                                         *

# if a non-loghost machine chooses to have authentication messages

# sent to the loghost machine, un-comment out the following line:

#auth.notice                    ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)

mail.debug                      ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)

#

# non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user"

# log messages to be logged locally.

#

ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,

user.err                                        /dev/sysmsg

user.err                                        /var/adm/messages

user.alert                                      `root, operator'
