It took me going back into the mail archive to figure out what you meant
here. =) I was just working through one of the many docs when I put that
line in way back when I was setting up the system at first. =)

There is a /sys/log/auth, but it doesn't print out anything when I try
and telnet in from a unix box. I find that if I telnet back into the
system when I'm at the console, I get a similar error:

    <myauthserver>% telnet <myauthserver>
    connected to tcp!<myauthserver>
    !telnet on /net/tcp/15
    user: jimr
    authentication failure

There is *one* entry from today: Feb 24 07:03 user response timed out,
but I'm not sure what attempt generated that error.
