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.

Greetings all!

 

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
