The "last" command lists loggins. authpriv messages are displayed on vt10.

Here is the part of /etc/syslog.conf that probably interests you:
# print most on tty10 and on the xconsole pipe
#
kern.warning;*.err;authpriv.none /dev/tty10
kern.warning;*.err;authpriv.none |/dev/xconsole

You could add a line to provide a /var/log/secure log.
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* /var/log/secure
