[Sunhelp] logging logins on Solaris 7

Hi there.

	I'm trying to figure out how to keep logs of _successful_ logins
under Solaris 7.  Irix/Linux/SunOS all generate nice syslog() messages on
successful login, e.g. from Irix 6.5.5:

Jan 10 13:47:43 host.local.domain login[13183]: user at remote as localuser

on Irix.  But the most I've managed to get out of Solaris 7 is this:

Jan 10 14:03:18 host.local.domain login: pam_authenticate: error
Authentication failed

... and this is only for unsuccesful logins.  It doesn't give username,
remote host, why the authentication failed, or anything.  Is there any way
to get more useful information from PAM under Solaris?

						thanks,

                     					Will
