The console on OpenBSD 3.9 release doesn't seem to log unknown username

See this commit:

"Make the default syslog.conf not make the console and root logins
unusable when problems occur. Provide commented out examples showing
people how to direct output to /dev/console or as messages to root,
for situations where such output might acutally be useful, rather than
something that keeps you from fixing a problem due to the screen
getting spewed at."
I guess I was expecting more to show up in /var/log/secure or authlog,
or messages.
I tried some random wrong password for the root account, and also tried
accounts like "rott", and all I got was:
/var/log/secure
Jul 13 09:30:30 star login: 1 LOGIN FAILURE ON ttyC0, root
/var/log/messages
Jul 13 09:30:30 star login: 1 LOGIN FAILURE ON ttyC0
