Are you actually getting anything written to /var/log/faillog?

That command does nothing here. Just had a thought. Permissions here are set to easy local, Suse default, could it be that?
What do you have in /etc/login.defs for this?
# # Enable logging and display of /var/log/faillog login failure info. # FAILLOG_ENAB yes

You can also touch /var/log/btmp to creat the file and then failed logins will go into this file encrypted. You can view failed logins with the lastb command (as root). -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998
