On linux systems, look in /var/log/secure

Also, on Solaris and Linux systems, the pam.d directory or pam.conf file will include a section for "login" and for "su". These might be "controlling" how a person can login. Finally, if the target does not have a valid login shell, you might get a message like this (but usually a different one)
