8827.0. "Can syslogd capture user login failure ??" by SNOFS1::IPSSG_FL () Thu Feb 13 1997 21:03

    Under Digital Unix V4.0b, I have enabled the following security
    utilities
    
    	1) Enhanced Security
    	2) Auditd
    	3) Accounting
    	4) Sialog ( created the file /var/adm/sialog )
        5) syslogd
    
    When I was checking the syslog/auth.log, I realised that it only logged
    down SU access ( both successful and failure ).  However, it did not
    log down any other interaface login success or failure access.
    
    Instead the sialog did log everything.
    
    Is it a feature for syslogd or I can do something to enable the
    syslogd ??
    
    I tried both of auth.info  and auth.debug in /etc/syslog.conf but got
    the same results.
    
    Thanks in advance

You can use audit to log both successful and unsuccessful logins.
This works with or without Enhanced Security enabled.
There is further information in the Security Manual.
