Operating Systems Linux SuSE Linux SuSE 10 - Disable Unsuccessful Login History. Post 302169495 by grumpf on Thursday 21st of February 2008 12:44:37 PM

wtmp/utmp are written by "login" (see man login for detail). I am not aware that there is a way to disable this since it is a security issue (read: you need a realy good explaination if you want to disable this).

The most easy way is to recompile login and install. The next is to link from /dev/null to wtmp (untested).

NAME
fence_rsb - I/O Fencing agent for Fujitsu-Siemens RSB SYNOPSIS
fence_rsb [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION
fence_rsb is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Fujitsu-Siemens RSB management interface. It logs into an RSB device via tel- net and reboots the associated machine. Lengthy telnet connections to the RSB device should be avoided while a GFS cluster is running because the connection will block any necessary fencing actions. fence_rsb accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent. fence_rsb can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing. Vendor URL: http://www.fujitsu.com OPTIONS
-a IPaddress IP address or hostname of the RSB device. -h Print out a help message describing available options, then exit. -l login Login name. -n telnet_port The port number on which the telnet service listens. -o action The action required. This can be reboot (default), off, on, or status. -p password Password for login. -S path Full path to an executable to generate the password for login. -v Verbose. Print informational messages to standard out. -V Print out a version message, then exit. STDIN PARAMETERS
agent = < param > This option is used by fence_node(8) and is ignored by fence_rsb. ipaddr = < hostname | ip > IP address or hostname of the device. telnet_port = < port number > The port number on which the telnet service listens. login = < param > Login name. option = < param > The action required. This can be reboot (default), off, on, or status. passwd = < param > Password for login. passwd_script = < param > Full path to an executable to generate the password for login. SEE ALSO
