why pam_tally never updates failed login count?

[Christian Seberino <seberino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why when I type pam_tally I cannot see the failed login count
get updated on this Debian box?  Relevant pam.d files appear below.


::::::::::::::
common-auth
::::::::::::::
auth    required        pam_env.so
auth    required        pam_tally.so deny=5 unlock_time=900
onerr=succeed
auth    sufficient      pam_unix.so
auth    required        pam_deny.so


::::::::::::::
common-account
::::::::::::::
account required        pam_tally.so
account sufficient      pam_unix.so
account required        pam_deny.so


::::::::::::::
common-password
::::::::::::::
password required       pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=12 difok=4
password sufficient     pam_unix.so     md5
password required       pam_deny.so


THANKS!

Chris
