Unix user account log monitoring

If your business runs on Unix machines, odds are you're tasked with Unix user account management. It is a must to audit every activity related to user account management, such as user and group creation and deletion, to ensure changes are authorized and not made by a naive or even rogue administrator. You might also be concerned with suspicious user account events such as multiple failed password resets. However, managing user accounts in your Unix systems can become messy without an auditing tool in place.
