Hi!

i was trying to log the failed login attempts to my opensolaris box and
i tried the methods specified in the book, "OpenSolaris bible " page
421, 

In short this is what it says,

To enable failed login log, first add the following lines
to /etc/default/login:

SYSLOG=YES
SYSLOG_FAILED_LOGINS=0

edit:
/etc/syslog.conf

auth.notice     /var/adm/authlog

touch /var/adm/authlog
ls -l /var/adm/authlog
chmod 600 /var/adm/authlog
chgrp sys /var/adm/authlog
ls -l /var/adm/authlog
svcadm refresh system-log

but i get the following error and nothing gets logged
into /var/adm/authlog

Oct  8 07:49:59 opensolaris syslogd: line 42: unknown priority name
"notice     /var/adm/authlog"
