/var/log/messages contains general system messages and service events, not detailed authentication failures.
/var/log/audit records administrative configuration changes (who changed what and when), not login attempts.
/var/log/ltm logs traffic-management (TMM) and application-related events.
Therefore, the correct log file for investigating unauthorized SSH login attempts is /var/log/secure.
