Log Review Failed FTP Attempt

Hi,

I've setup Iptables so only certain IP addresses can access our shell.  It works well for the handful of us that access the shell.

We also run SFTP.  So the IP for anyone needing FTP must be in the IP tables as well.

Today, I'm trying to configure someone remotely.  I added their IP address to the IPTables and helped them configure their FTP Client.  They are not able to connect.  It is unclear to me if it is a client or server issue.  So I am looking at the logs.

I'm running CentOS 5.6 and looking in /var/log/secure .  I see no entry for the failed access attempt.

Is there another log I should be looking in?

Thank you for your help!
