Many thanks to all who replied. I asked ....

"Does anyone know how to audit/log the disabling of an account due to the
maximum unsuccessful login count (u_numunsuclog) being reached.

Compaq support tell me that DU doesn't support it (we're at 4.0b) but I'm sure
that there must be a solution somewhere."

Well, DU itself doesn't provide any way of achieving this. The only way to do it
is to write some code to interrogate the protected password database and read
out the relevant fields.

Special thanks to Randy Rogers for some C code which will do this.
