Bug#776314: /var/log/faillog is never updated
Package: login Version: 1:4.4-4.1 Followup-For: Bug #776314 Dear Maintainer, I can reproduce this exact same issue on Debian Stretch. > # grep -i faillog /etc/login.defs : > FAILLOG_ENAByes An interesting thing to note is that the comment just above these lines says "Enable logging and display of /var/log/faillog login failure info. This option conflicts with the pam_tally PAM module." But, `grep pam_tally /etc/pam.d/login` yields nothing so I don't think pam_tally is active and causing this issue.

Bug#776314: /var/log/faillog is never updated
Package: login Version: 1:4.1.5.1-1 while auth.log and laslog are updated faillog is not # faillog -a all the lines are like : root00 01/01/70 01:00:00 +0100 user00 01/01/70 01:00:00 +0100 of course i did fail some login with a user and root i usually log from ssh so i also tried a fail log from the terminal itself, it changed nothing to faillog (auth.log is updated) # grep -i faillog /etc/login.defs : FAILLOG_ENAByes # grep -ri tally /etc/* - nothing other than comments the file /var/log/faillog never changed since the installation i do not reset the modification date of /var/log/faillog with a faillog -ra as root (which semms odd or lead to think i understand nothing to the problem) # uname -a (w/o hostname) Linux 3.2.0-4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 i686 GNU/Linux # apt-cache policy libc6 ...
