3 kaserverauxdb - Records failed authentication attempts
7 The file kaserverauxdb records failed authentication attempts
8 for the local Authentication Server. The server creates it
9 automatically in the B</usr/afs/local> directory by default; use

11 specify an alternate directory.

14 Authentication Server to prevent access by users who have exceeded the limit

24 examine> command reports an account's maximum number of failed
25 attempts, the lockout time, and whether the account is currently
