Logging (Sun Ray) dtlogin attempts

Hi all

We need to log failed (and preferably successful as well) logins through
dtlogin. An FAQ recommended on Sun BigAdmin states that this can be achieved
by modifying the following lines in /etc/pam.conf to include the word
"debug":

login account required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1 debug
dtlogin account required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1 debug

Then add the following line to syslog.conf:

auth.debug;user.debug /var/log/logins

This does log successful logins, but doesn't state the username entered for
unsuccessful logins. Adding "debug" to the following line worked:

dtlogin auth required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1 debug

However, NONE of this works with our Sun Rays, which is what we *really*
want to log.

Reading through the Administrator and Advanced Administrator manuals for Sun
Ray Server 1.3, it looks like this sort of thing should be logged to
/var/opt/SUNWut/log/auth_log. However, on our system, this file is empty and
all the rotated versions of this file are also empty.

Can anyone advise on the best course of action to achieve authentication
logging for Sun Rays, unsuccessful and successful if possible, and how to
achieve this? Also, are there alternatives to the PAM dtlogin method above?

Thanks
