loginlog(4)                      UNIX System V                      loginlog(4)


NAME
      loginlog - log of failed login attempts

DESCRIPTION
      After five unsuccessful login attempts, all the attempts are logged in
      the file /var/adm/loginlog.  This file contains one record for each
      failed attempt.  Each record contains the login name, tty specification,
      and time.

      This is an ASCII file.  Each field within each entry is separated from
      the next by a colon.  Each entry is separated from the next by a new-
      line.

      By default, loginlog does not exist, so no logging is done.  To enable
      logging, the log file must be created with read and write permission for
      owner only.  Owner must be root and group must be sys.

FILES
      /var/adm/loginlog
