what is "faillog" all about?

[rpjday <rpjday mindspring com>]

  i was perusing the contents of the shadow-utils RPM, and
came across the "faillog" program.  there's a program and
a man page, but there is no log file /var/log/faillog and it's
not at all obvious how to activate logging.  i've deliberately
logged in incorrectly but ... nothing.

  this looks like a useful feature.  does it actually work?
