Wrong login attempts

YOGI_3 — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 12:47:18 GMT

Hello all..
I have one trusted system.
One login is locked because of wrong password attempts.
Can we find from which terminal wrong attempts attended?
IP address or tty?

Thakns...

command "lastb -R" should show you. You have to be root to run it.

You can do a "lastb -R | more " which will list the bad login attempts with the origin station name or ip address.

You can also specify a user name as part of the lastb command so you only see the logins for that user.

# lastb -R user3

will show all bad logins and their originating IP address, hostname, or terminal for user3.
