[ale] What creates /var/log/faillog ?

[Jim Kinney]

Never heard of a "faillog". There is secure and audit logs. /var/log/secure
handles login attempts. If auditd is running, /var/log/audit/* handles all
manner of access internal to the system (I.e. not web server access).
Perhaps those are what was inferred.
