Disregard this... I found the answer to my own question shortly after I sent this e-mail. It appears that the same login failures will just keep repeating until /var/log/messages is rotated. I should just not allow myself to send e-mails 1st thing in the morning. :^) BUT, now here's a question. Should it really be setup this way? I know some of the other periodic scripts just look for new items in the log files since the last time the script ran, shouldn't the login failures do something similar? -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Christopher J.
