Is it possible to have sshd log the passwords and times of failed

David,
I may be missunderstanding you but I believe sshd already does. 


I think you're misunderstanding... possibly as a result of the evil
and dreaded top-post, which fails to retain context properly.  =8^)

David appears to be asking for the PASSWORD the user used on a failed
attempt.  I'm not 100% positive, but I believe OpenSSH does not
provide a mechanism to get the password.


If you do a cat on the /var/log/secure it has info of failed login
attempts, the account they tried and the time. You cna easily use


Also note that /var/log/secure is the default on most Linux systems,
but by no means the only place these messages could appear.  This
depends entirely on where the system's LOG_AUTHPRIV log messages are
going, and that's only if the user hasn't changed the SyslogFacility
in the sshd config file.
