Also, see if your system supports btmp. It's kind of like wtmp, but for bad logins. You can usually test this by finding your wtmp file (in my case it's in /var/log), and :
Now try opening another session to your box, and purposely fail to provide the correct password. If the file grows in size, you're now keeping track of failed logins.
Although:
You must be careful who has the ability to read this file... A common scenario is when you accidentally put your password in as your username... someone who reads that file can keep an eye out for that.

Has anyone here configured a central syslog server using syslog-ng ?

SYSLOG(8) System Logging SYSLOG(8)NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd
DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd
The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
But this depends on the software selection during the installation.
The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.
The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
