(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) System Administration :
How do I record unsuccessful login attempts?
To get the all /etc/default/login subsystems to work, make sure to put in a value for MAXTRYS, such as MAXTRYS=30.
   To Make the System Log:

   You can create the file

      -rw-------   root  sys  0  /var/adm/loginlog

   with the touch command and the chmod command.  Then enter:

      defadm login MAXTRYS=50       <--  because that needs to be non-null.
      defadm login LOGFAILURES      <--  to see what it is set at.
      defadm login LOGFAILURES=2    <--  if you want to log after two failures.
