AUTOLOG and XAUTOLOG Rules

To allow only REBECCAH to autolog your virtual machine, add the following rules to your user rules file:

ACCEPT REBECCAH AUTOLOG
REJECT * AUTOLOG

Suppose, however, you want to allow REBECCAH to autolog your virtual machine on weekends from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., and you want to know if anyone else is attempting to autolog your machine. Add the following rules to your user rules file:

ACCEPT REBECCAH AUTOLOG (DAY SAT-SUN TIME 0800 1700
REJECT * AUTOLOG (HISTORY

The HISTORY option specifies that all autolog requests to your virtual machine (other than REBECCAH’s) are to be recorded on the *HS= comments in your directory entry.

CA VM:Secure treats AUTOLOG and XAUTOLOG as synonyms. An AUTOLOG rule will accept or reject the XAUTOLOG command. Conversely, an XAUTOLOG rule will accept or reject an AUTOLOG command.
