Hi all --

For those of you who have seen the logging infrastructure guide Abe Singer
and I wrote for USENIX, you'll remember the section we titled "Spelling
login in many languages." I'm making a similar collection for a new article.

I'm interested in failed login messages from as many different operating
systems and devices as I can collect -- the weirder the better, but I've
also got to cover the obvious ones.

If you can contribute data, please obfuscate whatever fields in the data
necessary for your own protection and send it to me off-list. When it seems
like the contributions are done, I'll compile the total and send it back to
the list, so everyone can gaze at it in amazement.

Thanks very much -- tbird
