Limitations

• The template only detects failed logins that are logged to btmp[s].

The template does not detect failed secure ftp (sftp) logins because the ssh daemon logs failed sftp logins using syslog(3C) instead of logging them to btmp on 11i and btmps on 11i v2.

The template does not detect failed secure shell (ssh) logins by ssh daemons that do not log failed ssh logins to btmp on 11i version 1.0 and btmps on 11i version 2.0. SSH daemons should be configured with the "UsePAM" configuration value

set to "no" in order to log failed attempts to btmp(s).
