Question: CDE dtlogin - do not log failed login attempts

Hello -

I did not see an answer or summary for this question,
but am having an issue with this now. Is it possible
to get CDE to properly log failed login attempts?

I can get failed login attempts via remote logins to
be logged, but not directy at the CDE console.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Debbie
