Hello,
what kind of errors?
if you get a "Login incorrect", that's a normal pam-login
message. To hide this message, you should patch the
sourcecode.
if you get a whole line like this:
FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM /dev/vc/3 FOR user, Authentication failure
then your syslog is probably not working.
best regards

Hello again 
just have a look at the wonderful install documents.
At the end there is a short and nice description how to get a syslog
daemon to work.
best regards
