Logging Password change attempts

[Vijay Sankar]

I have been using a simple script

# mypasswd.sh
/usr/bin/passwd -l
if [[ $? != 0 ]]; then
        /usr/bin/logger "Unsuccessful attempt to change password"
else
        /usr/bin/logger "Changed login password"
fi
to get syslog entries whenever I change my password. I looked for a  
better way but could not find any solutions for this in the archives.

Is there a better way to do this? Please let me know if possible.

Thanks very much,

Vijay
