After five unsuccessful login attempts, all the attempts are
logged in the file /var/adm/loginlog. This file contains one
record for each failed attempt. Each record contains the
login name, tty specification, and time.
This is an ASCII file. Each field within each entry is
separated from the next by a colon. Each entry is separated
from the next by a new-line.
By default, loginlog does not exist, so no logging is done.
To enable logging, the log file must be created with read
and write permission for owner only. Owner must be root and
group must be sys.
