The password log file typically stores things in the following format (taken
right from the reference manual):
time:seconds:user:submitted_password:correct_password:result
If a user logs in with a valid username and password, it gets logged with
'PASS'. If user tries to log in with a valid username and bad password,
it gets logged with 'FAIL'. However, if a user tries to log in and does
not type in a valid username (but the password might have been correct),
nothing gets logged at all.
I would like to see messages for the invalid usernames as well. The word
'UNKNOWN' can be placed in the correct_password field as a place holder.
I may try to work up a patch to do this and pass it along. However, I have
to finish up on our home-grown authentication module first, as that takes
priority, irrigardless of logging :-)
Thanks,
Scott
