>Description:
/etc/periodic/security/800.loginfail uses a simplistic grep expression to find relevant log messages.
Unfortunately it misses some things that it shouldn't and shows others that are superfluous.

eg. sasl-auth login failures don't show up, but sshd warnings about non-matching forward/reverse
lookups are.
