Yes that will log failed logon attempts, now can you tell me how to log failed access attempts? I need to log any access attempts that result in Permission Denied.

I am new to Linux. I have Mandrake 9.1 running and would like to know how I can log failed logins and failed file access attempts.

Failed logins will show up in /var/log/auth.log, along with other security information. If you run, as root, "touch /var/log/btmp", then you can also run "lastb" to get a listing of bad logins.

I am not sure that can be done. Maybe if you explained what you are trying to do, we could come up with something that will work.
