typo in pam_tally manpage

[Derrick Hudson]

The pam_tally manpage says "filed" where it should say "field".

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The typo is still present in the upstream source too. You can notify the PAM maintainers or join the mailing list here:

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

"Don't use .fail_locktime filed in /var/log/faillog for this user." is still present in 1.3.1-5ubuntu4 on Ubuntu 20.04 (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man8/pam_tally.8.html)

[Mathew Hodson (mhodson)]

The pam_tally and pam_tally2 modules have been dropped from Debian in pam 1.4.0-1.
