Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11) Linux
Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11) Linux
Situation
On Novell Open Enterprise Server a file named 'ObjectHistory.txt' exists in '/opt/novell/ncpserv/sbin'.
This file belongs to NCP, and the purpose of this file is to log when an eDirectory object 'Rename' or 'Delete' event is performed. If this is the case, NCP sends a notification to NSS via inter-process communication (IPC), and simultaneously the event itself is logged to the 'ObjectHistory.txt file.
The location of this logfile is not appropriate however, and the logfile is not part of any default system logrotate or archiving action.
