Thank you. This fix creates another problem. Just telnet to localhost, log in as a user and provide a wrong password. When it returns for the username again, close the session. Now telnet again, and this time enter a name, wrong password, enter a name again, and another wrong password and then close the session again. The log (var/log/messages) will report this: Jan 10 12:27:52 daemon login: 1 LOGIN FAILURE FROM daemon.ninth-circle.org Jan 10 12:29:57 daemon login: 3 LOGIN FAILURES FROM daemon.ninth-circle.org So changing the parameters of grep from failure to failures or vice versa `forgets' to include one case, so the best thing would be to include both --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven A veil of smoke is what I am, asmodai(at)wxs.nl I wait and I wait...
