faillock does not count failed authentication using physlock
I'd like to move from swaylock to physlock. I have a script which watches the number of failed authentication attempts using /usr/bin/faillock.
While locked with physlock, entering a wrong password denies access (as it should) but the fialure isn't logged by faillock.
I am trying to understand why. I realize pam_faillock is a part of PAM - does this mean physlock doesn't perform authentication via PAM in any way?

It uses https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-c … yslock.pam easiest way to use faillock would be to switch to upstream's config https://github.com/muennich/physlock/bl … yslock.pam
