i found that my Ubuntu systems were not logging failed ssh logins, apparently due to the default file permissions on /var/log/btmp 660. i heard that sshd willnot log to a file with group writeable perms; when i changed the perms to 600, lastb started reporting failed attempts. -sff

I have tried to log in with wrong passwords, wrong username, /var/log/btmp is still empty. "last" works fine - but "lastb" does not work at all. faillog is also not showing anything The only place I could find login attempts is /var/log/auth.log To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/345074/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
