Information

Monitoring and recording successful and unsuccessful logins assists in tracking unauthorized access to the system.

Solution

Edit /etc/syslog.conf and add local log destinations for auth.*, auth.debug, auth.info, *.debug or *.info.

NOTE: In general and though not required, it is always advisable to explicitly declare auth.info or auth.debug entries rather than use the wildcard notation method.
