[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#776314: /var/log/faillog is never updated

[Avinash Sonawane]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.4-4.1
Followup-For: Bug #776314

Dear Maintainer,

I can reproduce this exact same issue on Debian Stretch.

> # grep -i faillog /etc/login.defs :
> FAILLOG_ENAB            yes

An interesting thing to note is that the comment just above these lines says
"Enable logging and display of /var/log/faillog login failure info. This option
conflicts with the pam_tally PAM module."

But, `grep pam_tally /etc/pam.d/login` yields nothing so I don't think
pam_tally is active and causing this issue.

This is something else.
