It's already in /var/log/messages, if you want more: man syslog.conf

xinetd is responsible for I guess. In /etc/xinetd.d you should have an 
entry like this:

file name: proftpd in my case.

# default: off
# description: The proftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
#       normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
         socket_type             = stream
         wait                    = no
         user                    = root
         server                  = /usr/sbin/in.proftpd
         log_on_success          += DURATION HOST USERID
         log_on_failure          += USERID
         only_from               =
         nice                    = 10
         disable                 = no  <----- to enable it say no here
}
