Security logging of unlock attempts (success or failure)

[db64]

Please consider including a feature that will write a log of unlock events/attempts. This log should either be owned by root with no other user access, or written to the "authpriv" kernel log facility (directed to "/var/log/secure" on RH-like systems; Debian, et al may have other). This log should include the following at a minimum:

• Time+Date
• Attempted login name
• Success or failure

Possible other events to log:

• Screensaver lock time
• Screensaver lock method: automated (by timer, etc.) or manual (by mouse click or keyboard, not sure this can be determined)
• Screensaver wake time (e.g. going from idle state to activity detected)
• Leaving a note: include the user name, time, date, and possibly the note contents.
• Canceling of the unlock dialog

Thanks for your time, and a great app!

Definitely need this. I want to know when someones trying to tamper with my laptop. Ideally, there should be a way to set a hook for failed attempts so that you can hibernate after several failed attempts (hibernating will let FDE kick in but usually not destroy data).

I would also enjoy seeing this feature.
