it's usually in /var/log/auth.log

checkout /etc/syslog.conf

there should be a line like:

auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log

if it's not there... add it in.

sorry... this dont work...
I have RedHat 8.0

when I add new user test:
in: /log/secure
useradd[22108]: new group: name=test, gid=1299
useradd[22108]: new user: name=test, uid=1295,
gid=1299, home=/home/test, shell=/bin/bash

then I log as test and change password
[test]$ passwd
Changing password for user test.
Changing password for test
(current) UNIX password:
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

in messages I have only info when user passed or failur login... ant nothing
about change password...

and no sing in /log/secure /log/message /log/any

my syslog.conf:
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* /dev/console
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;cron.none
/var/log/messages
# The authpriv file has restricted access.
auth*,auth,authpriv.*
/var/log/secure
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* /var/log/maillog
# Log cron stuff
cron.* /var/log/cron
# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg *
# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.* /var/log/boot.log
#
# INN
#
news.=crit /var/log/news/news.crit
news.=err /var/log/news/news.err
news.notice /var/log/news/news.notice
## all
*.* /var/log/any

Is possible that this linux RH8.0 don't write this information?

So *that's* the infamous "test" account that those ssh attackers are after!
Now it makes sense...
