To avoid any confusion: * faillog utility was removed ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675168 ) * faillock utility is located in /sbin/
faillog command was removed in 6.1. Please see: Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675168 Advisory: RHBA-2011:0790-1 ... * Previously, the pam_tally.so module was used to write to /var/log/faillog.
