Unhappy SU LOG File

I'm running LINUX WS 64BIT REHEL Kernel 2.6.9-5.Elsmp and I'm attempting to locate my SULOG file which informs me of who attempted to SU.

I'm very new at LINUX and understand the /etc/syslog.conf file should direct me where to go however, the file does not indicated a SU LOG file exist.

Please Help

'grep secure /etc/syslog.conf' should tell you the name of the logfile. By default that'll be /var/log/secure.
