>Description:

	In /etc/security a 'grep -i "login failures" $LOG/messages' is
	executed to grep the login failures, but syslog reports them as

	Jan  9 13:30:07 odie login: 1 LOGIN FAILURE FROM localhost, root

>How-To-Repeat:



>Fix:

	change the line

	grep -i "login failures" $LOG/messages

	to

	grep -i "login failure" $LOG/messages

	in /etc/security
