Not familiar with that version of unix, however, I would guess that it's *probably* safe. It's *probably* a log file showing who has tried to log in and failed. Note that it might be worth trying to parse that. Check http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=623696 for more information about how to parse it.

In an effort to clean up some drive space on my AIX box (inherited it, and don't know jack about Unix). One particular area/folder/drive? is running low on drive space and I've found two files that are *relatively* big to the allocated space (I've already removed a bunch of .bak files). These files are "failedlogin" and "failedlogin1". The question is....can I just delete these files and they will recreate when required? I'm guessing that the failedlogin1 is an older version? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Cheers, Cameron ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
