LogLevel VERBOSE logs the ipaddress of the attempt on a "signon that exists", but not which signon name.

If they guess the wrong NAME, this is logged in syslog.  If they guess a working user name, then the attack has PARTIALLY SUCCEEDED, but this information is IGNORED.  That is, it is not logged.  If the zombie army has tell when it has found a working user name, then it might concentrate on finding its key, and I will be none the wiser.  I will not see that happening.
