> What's /var/log/authlog?  AFAIK, BSD and Linux both use /var/log/auth.log.

It may be an OpenBSD'ism. In response to the original question: look
for where auth.info messages get recorded in /etc/syslog.conf. In
OpenBSD, there's a line that says:

auth.info                                    /var/log/authlog

The syslog facilities and priorities are (kind of) standard, so
you should be able to see where the messages are going on any system.
