Presuming you are talking about OpenSSH...
# tail /var/log/auth.log
Feb 3 00:17:48 syrinx sshd[5091]: Accepted publickey for res from ::ffff:216.254.67.191 port 60674 ssh2
Logging the remote username would be meaningless. Who would be supplying
it? The remote user, who could say anything at all. This is only
meaningful for hostbased authentication.

Depends on how those logins are "disabled."
