     Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

     I am writing to ask how FreeBSD may alert me to unsuccessfull root
     login attempts (as distinct from a successfull login) ?

     One possibility is replacing getpasswd by a locally produced one that
     writes all attempst to the syslog facility, however I don't really
     want to do that even with the source available.

     Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

     Thank you.

     Yours sincerely,

     S Hopcroft
