Logging Failed Login attempts

I'm trying to log bad login attemps. They are supposed to be logged to
/var/log/btmp according to the man page on the "lastb" command. I
touched the /var/log/btmp file to create it and when I run the lastb
command it reads the file but none of the "bad login attempts" get
logged to the file. Anyone know how to turn this logging on? I have
tested faillog and that works if someone uses a real username to try and
login and fails but does not record failed login attempts with a bogus
username (ie someone guessing usernames). Any ideas?
