su" does not effect unsuccessful_login_count, at least in AIX 5.1.
You should be monitoring /var/adm/sulog, but not because of the question at hand.

Rod,
I am running 5.1.0.0 ML 05
The account I attempt to su to has the "loginretries" attribute set to three (3). When I fail, the unsuccessful_login_count increases by one (1) and a fail entry appears in the sulog.
Any thoughts as to why I get different results than your own?
