Environment
Novell eDirectory 8.8.6 for Linux
Situation
Attempting to configure eDirectory XDAS Audit to File, but no
events are being written to
/var/opt/novell/eDirectory/log/xdas-events.log
Resolution
eDirectory 8.8.6 is able to log events to a rolling log file or
syslog server, as documented in the Novell XDASv2 Administration
Guide:

In the nds.conf file, there is a specific setting to configure the location of the xdasconfig.properties file. By default, this line is:
n4u.server.xdas-conf=/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/xdasconfig.properties
If xdasconfig.properties exists in more than one location, the file listed in the nds.conf is the one which must be modified. Upon editing the proper file, as configured in nds.conf, the XDAS Audit to File works correctly.
