I'd ask about the fail.log, is this for login failures? You might be able to alter syslog.conf to get the login failures logged there.


The /var/log/faillog file does appear to be for login failures. I found this:
http://www.linuxvalley.it/encyclopedia/ldp/manpage/man5/login.defs.5.php


and enabled the value in login.defs for /var/log/faillog. I tried to test it by logging in and screwing up on purpose, but nothing was written to the file.

What do I need to do to get it working?
