loginlog(4)                                              loginlog(4)


       NAME
             loginlog - log of failed login attempts

       DESCRIPTION
             After LOGFAILURES unsuccessful login attempts, where
             LOGFAILURES is 5 if not defined in /etc/default/login, 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 entry is separated from the next
             by a new-line.  Within each entry, each field is separated
             from the next by a colon.

             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.  The owner must be root; the
             group, sys.
