DESCRIPTION

/var/log/faillog maintains a count of login failures and the limits for each account.

The file contains fixed length records, indexed by numerical UID. Each record contains the count of login failures since the last successful login; the maximum number of failures before the account is disabled; the line on whiche the last login failure occurred; the date of the last login failure; and the duration (in seconds) during which the account will be locked after a failure.

La structure du fichier est la suivante :

    struct	faillog {
    	short   fail_cnt;      /* compteur des échecs */
    	short   fail_max;      /* nb max avant désactivation */
    	char    fail_line[12]; /* ligne du dernier échec */
    	time_t  fail_time;     /* date du dernier échec */
    	long    fail_locktime;};
