Hello folks My failed login attempts aren't being recorded, and lastb shows no output. The permissions are correct: -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 15 06:39 /var/log/btmp Reading a previous message on the mailing list, i tried setting FTMP_FILE /var/log/btmp in /etc/login.defs. But this gives the following error (right after typing the username on a tty): configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator) So two questions: 1. Why isn't the option being recognised, even though it is present in the man page for login.defs? 2. How do i enable logging to /var/log/btmp? -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
