Unsuccessful login attempts after five consecutive failures are logged in the file /var/adm/loginlog, only if the file /var/adm/loginlog exists and is owned by root, group sys, and has read and write permissions only for root. Follow this procedure to create and configure the file /var/adm/loginlog for unsuccessful login attempt logging:
Log in (or su) as root.
Enter the command touch /var/adm/loginlog.
Enter the command chown root /var/adm/loginlog.
Enter the command chgrp sys /var/adm/loginlog.
Enter the command chmod 600 /var/adm/loginlog.
The following is an example entry written into /var/adm/loginlog.
adm:/dev/pts/9:Tue May 5 21:07:49 1998
This entry indicates that a user attempted to log in as user adm on port /dev/pts/9 on May 5 at 9:07 P.M.
