Where is '/var/log/secure.log' in Mountain Lion

Question

I used to check /var/log/secure.log for ssh connection attempts. But since upgrading to Mountain Lion it's gone.

Solution 1

Thanks to user @ben_fry on twitter, we have an answer. In short, secure.log auth events have been rolled into asl (syslog). Stack won't let me post more than one link so the answer I wanted to post here is on my blog:

Note that I have not changed over my denyhosts to use asl so I do not know if this works, but according to the folks on twitter it does.

SSH logins are now logged in syslog

The link is broken and now this answer is unhelpful. Rather than fix the link, maybe post the answer you wanted to post.
