Invalid login trys are not saved in log file. It's right?
All invalid logins, unauthorized IP accessing and so on should be
saved in log, IMHO, as DBISAM server does.

Correct.

I'll correct this for 2.02.

Actually, this is a little more involved than I thought, so it may not make
it into 2.02.   And, just to clarify, invalid *logins* are logged to the log
manager, only blocked IP addresses or invalid encryption settings are not
logged.

I meant the case an user inputs valid login name but bad password.
Or when login retry count is raised.
Currently I can't make log to save any of both cases.

You know, my goal is get a text log file in order to check intrussion
tentatives with an automated regular grep. I understand creating a log
text file and maintain it not truncated is beyond EDB features and
it's my own work.

Go into the server interface (System Tray, Right-Click on EDB Server Icon,
Restore), click on the Stop Server task link, click on the Edit Server
Options link, and under the Configuration tab, make sure that the
Information, Warning, and Error check boxes are checked for the Logging
section.
