As login attempts via SSH are saved without year information '/etc/periodic/security/800.loginfail' will report fail logins from past years. This heavily confuses users. >How-To-Repeat: - Make a default installation - Do some failed logins - Wait 1 year ;-) >Fix: '/var/log/auth.log' should be rotated at least once a year. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
