Login and Logout Information
RUGGEDCOM ROS generates this alarm and logs a message in the syslog when a successful and unsuccessful login
attempt occurs. A message is also logged in the syslog when a user with a certain privilege level is logged out
from the device.
Login attempts are logged regardless of how the user accesses the device (i.e. SSH, Web, Console, Telnet or RSH).
However, when a user logs out, a message is only logged when the user is accessing the device through SSH,
Telnet or Console.
