 I noticed the same problem; although I was primarily worried about not
 seeing ssh login failures in the security report.  I discovered it was
 because "fail" no longer appears in the auth.log line on my FreeBSD
 6.1 installation:
 
 Aug 11 08:39:20 hostname sshd[48839]: error: PAM: authentication error
 for someuser from somewhere.pacbell.net
 
 I simply modified the grep in 800.loginfail to read:
 
         n=$(catmsgs | grep -ia "^$yesterday.*\(fail\|authentication error\)" |
             tee /dev/stderr | wc -l)
