any way to do record login failures?

sql2000 sp3a
i'd like to keep track of login failures in a table in addition to the
sql log. is there any way to do this?
i've created an alert for error 18456, login failed for user '%ls'.
if i configure the alert to call a job, how do i get that error message
into the job so that i can insert it into a table?
also, i'd like to record the hostname or ip address of the client
machine from which the login failure occurs. i know sysprocesses has
that info once a user gets logged in, but where is that info if the
login fails?Another option is to use a trace (or profiler) to monitor
for failed logins. You can import the trace file into a
table.
The IP and Host name won't be directly available for failed
logins. Host name isn't that reliable anyway as it's
controlled by the client. For the ip address, you would need
to capture this using a network tool.
