- Odd. Here decnet logs every connect with messages like

-
- in syslog. Maybe somebody used ncp to crank the logging level way down
- on your system? LAT, on the other hand, is a problem.

- If you really want to log every login attempt on a vanilla Ultrix 4.x
- system, enable auditing. You'll want to to turn off auditing for
- everything but login and a few other signifcant events (unless you
- really like reading auditlogs, and have lots of disk space), and it
- still won't be a lot of fun. But it will log every login attempt.
