Again, I think log_connections is what you're looking for.
Note that a failed connection attempt is *not* necessarily a sign of
evil intent. For example, I believe that psql does not prompt the
user for a password unless its initial attempt to connect is rejected
by the server with a "password required" error. So you will see a
failed attempt and then a (hopefully) successful attempt a few seconds
later, whenever you are using password authentication.
