Moreover faillog n tallylog are not updating. Im not sure how to see faillog file . It has all junk characters. When I type *faillog -m 5 *I dont see anything in the terminal. [root@localhost log]# faillog -m 5 [root@localhost log]# ls -l tallylog -rw------- 1 root root 0* *Aug 3 17:10 tallylog There is no issue with the permissions as other files such as messages & secure are having the same [600].
