fix
To monitor the use of the uroot account, you can specify that uroot send an email message to the root user every time that uroot is used. Enable the mail_always keyword to configure this function.
To enable the mail_always function for uroot:
- Use a text editor to load the
/etc/uroot.cfg
file. - Type the following text near the top of the file, preferably after the lines that start with a #:
- Save and close the file.
Defaults:ALL mail_always
note
By default, uroot logs only to a file.
