loginlog not registering failed logins

Hello guys,

I made a loginlog file to register failed login attempts on my sun-blade 1500 server ( just studying at home) . The code below is how I created the file :
Code:
# touch /var/adm/loginlog
# chmod 600 /var/adm/loginlog
# chgrp sys /var/adm/loginlog

After creating the file, I attempted failed logins 5 times. I looked into the loginlog file, but nothing was registered in it. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Have you commented console out of /etc/default/login as this can sometimes be a problem.

Regards

Dave
