Source Depot Auditing
If both the source and target systems are 10.30 or later versions of
HP-UX, you can use swlist to audit the depot. The system
administrator at the source depot machine can turn the audit
functionality on or off. This feature tracks users and their software
selections. In addition, you can determine when depots are being used.
As the administrator, you must set to true the value of
swagent.source_depot_audit in the /var/adm/sw/defaults file for
swagent. This creates a swaudit.log file on the source depot (for
writable directory depots) or in /var/tmp (for tar image, CD-ROM, or
other non-writable depots). This works like swagent.log for source
depot.
You can view the audit files by typing swlist -i -d. As long as the
system has the corresponding SD message catalog files on it, you can
view the audit information on a remote/local depot (with your language
preference set).
