AIX logon attempts

Is it true that within AIX, logon attempts with a blocked user
(password set to NP or *) are still logged in the syslog file, provided the shell of the user is /dev/null? And that if the user does not have a shell (or a shell set to /bin/false), any logon attempts with these blocked users will NOT be logged?

Thanks!
