Hi all,
On my OpenBSD installation (6.9) one of the log files created by login(1)
seems to be a binary file:
$ less /var/log/failedlogin
"failedlogin" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
The hexdump of it is:
openbsd# hexdump -C failedlogin
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|

What can I learn from this logfile?
A lot of repeating null bytes and "ttyC2" and "ttyC3" does not seems
to be very informative.
Is this an error?
