| where is the file(s) within UNIX that allows you to:
1. set the number of login attempts
2. see what the users are trying to do or access (i.e. attempts to login as root, superuser)
I'm running AIX verison 4, but i'd like to know in general. thanks for any help | |

| Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure for failed login attempts. I think in AIX the log files are called authlog and syslog instead. On AIX I think there is also a /var/log/loginlog file, have a look at that. Use ssh to allow remote logins and configure it to only allow a certain number of failed attempts. You could wrote a script that will do this as well. More infor on hardening AIX can be found here:
