2.0.7, when it is released, will have support for the `utmpx' variant
of utmp/wtmp. Assuming Solaris uses `utmpx', which I don't remember (I
haven't used Solaris since 1994), this sounds like what you want. If
you want to try it out and see, 2.0.7pre1 is out already.
I don't know about logging unsuccessful logins to syslog -- whether
this would even be a good idea. Windows machines often try two
different sets of credentials in what is eventually a successful login,
so you could get a *lot* of false positives). I don't know the details
of this -- which clients do this or why.
