Administrative Access Logging
When a user tries to log onto the web management console, one of the following log
messages appears:
Jan 30 03:00:18 2000 boa: Authentication successful for root
from 10.0.0.2
Jan 30 03:00:14 2000 boa: Authentication attempt failed for
root from 10.0.0.2
This message shows the date/time, whether the authentication succeeded or failed, the
user attempting authentication (in this case root) and the IP address from which the
attempt was made.
Telnet (Command Line Interface) login attempts appear as:
Jan 30 03:18:37 2000 login: Authentication attempt failed for
root from 10.0.0.2
Jan 30 03:18:40 2000 login: Authentication successful for root
from 10.0.0.2
Once again, showing the same information as a web login attempt.
