I suspect you have not yet configured syslogd to log authentication failures to that logfile. See syslog.conf for details.

Did you login with ssh?

it works for /dev/console telnet not ssh

in /etc/syslog.conf, do this:-
uncomment the following lines.
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/sysmsg
# if a non-loghost machine chooses to have authentication messages
auth.notice ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)
