Thumbs up Missing Secure.log file


I seem to be missing a secure.log or security.log file. I have Ubuntu 10.04 and can't find this file. I looked in the /var/log and ran a search command to no avail. Does anyone know where this file is or is it called something else. I'm looking for a file that logs any change to the security settings of the system.

The auth log on Debian-based distros is usually /var/log/auth.log. You can also open /etc/syslog.conf and find out where your auth logs are going.
