LOGINLOG(5) File Formats and Configurations LOGINLOG(5)

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.
