    David,
    I may be missunderstanding you but I believe sshd already does. If you do a cat
    on the /var/log/secure it has info of failed login attempts, the account they
    tried and the time. You cna easily use some awk and grep with a cron job to
    pull that info to a seperate log if you want.

    Quoting David Vestal <dv_secfocus@sbcglobal.net>:
