    ---------------------------------------------

    My feeling is that the default install already logs everything that
    has to do with auth to /var/log/auth.log.
    This
    "auth.info;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log"
    line in /etc/syslog conf defines to where that login information is
    sent.
