You didn't mention what "flavor" of UNIX.
Different UNIX systems utilize log files in different locations and with different names.
The log file structure on Solaris 7 is...

All successful and unsuccessful su attempts are
logged to /var/adm/sulog. Keeping track of who is
using the su command specifically who is
attempting to su to root is critical for
successful security monitoring.

To log failed login in attempts Solaris uses
/var/adm/loginlog. This file must be created
manually be owned by root and group sys, and must
have the permissions of 600. Log entries will be
created after five failed login attempts by
default.

The last command monitors who is logged into your
systems, and when, and from where. It's
information is logged to the /var/adm/wtmpx file.
This file is stored in binary format and the last
command must be used to read the file.

System events including software and hardware.
Events are logged into the /var/adm/messages file.
These include hardware errors, Operating System
errors, and security related messages. These
messages could be generated from successful and
failed logins, connections from TCP-Wrappers, su
attempts, and from sshd.

getbuildlog

GETBUILDLOG(1)                                                General Commands Manual                                               GETBUILDLOG(1)

NAME

       getbuildlog - download build logs from Debian auto-builders

SYNOPSIS

       getbuildlog package [version-pattern] [architecture-pattern]

DESCRIPTION

       getbuildlog downloads build logs of package from Debian auto-builders. It downloads build logs of all versions and for all architectures if
       version-pattern and architecture-pattern are not specified or empty, otherwise only build logs whose  versions  match  version-pattern  and
       build  logs  whose  architectures  match  architecture-pattern will be downloaded. The version and architecture patterns are interpreted as
       extended regular expressions as described in grep(1).

       If version-pattern is "last" then only the logs for the most recent version of package found on buildd.debian.org will be downloaded.

       If version-pattern is "last-all" then the logs for the most recent version found on each build log index will be downloaded.
