This is what I need, thanks mates. It shows up the username, TTY, node and date when the user failed to login to the system but I tought it would be easier to know this without having to translate it into ASCII code.
Or there is one?

genders_testquery
GENDERS_TESTQUERY(3) LIBGENDERS GENDERS_TESTQUERY(3)
NAME
genders_testquery - query genders database for a set of nodes
SYNOPSIS
#include <genders.h>
int genders_testquery(genders_t handle, const char *node, const char *query);
DESCRIPTION
genders_testquery() tests if the node pointed to by node meets the conditions specified in the query. If node is NULL, the current node is
tested. Queries are based on the union, intersection, difference, or complement of genders attributes and values. The query is passed as
a string through the query parameter. The set operation union is represented by two pipe symbols ('||'), intersection by two ampersand
symbols ('&&'), difference by two minus symbols ('--'), and complement by a tilde ('~'). Set operations are performed left to right.
Parentheses may be used to change the order of operations. A list of query examples are listed below. A NULL query retrieves all nodes
from the genders database.
EXAMPLES
The following are example queries that can be passed to genders_testquery().
Test if a node contains the mgmt or login attribute:
"mgmt||login"
Test if a node is not a login node:
"all--login"
Test if a node is both a login node and ntp server:
"login&&ntpserv"
Test if a node is not a mgmt or login node:
"~(mgmt||login)"
RETURN VALUES
If the node as met the conditions of the query, 1 is returned. 0 is returned if the node does not meet the conditions of the query. On
error, -1 is returned, and an error code is returned in handle. The error code can be retrieved via genders_errnum(3) , and a description
of the error code can be retrieved via genders_strerror(3). Error codes are defined in genders.h.
ERRORS
GENDERS_ERR_NULLHANDLE
The handle parameter is NULL. The genders handle must be created with genders_handle_create(3).
GENDERS_ERR_NOTLOADED

GENDERS_ERR_PARAMETERS

GENDERS_ERR_SYNTAX
