      .Obsolete `/var/log/tallylog` log file creation removed

      Before this update, an outdated configuration in the `pam.conf` file caused the creation of the `/var/log/tallylog` file. Since the system now uses `pam_faillock`, which replaced the obsolete `pam_tally`, the `/var/log/tallylog` file is no longer necessary.

      With this update, `pam.conf` was updated to remove the instructions for the obsolete log file creation.

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/pam.conf creates log file /var/log/tallylog :

      # cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/pam.conf 
      d /run/console 0755 root root -
      d /run/faillock 0755 root root -
      d /run/sepermit 0755 root root -
      d /run/motd.d 0755 root root -
      f /var/log/tallylog 0600 root root -

      pam_faillock replaced pam_tally and /var/log/tallylog is no longer used
