If your sourcetype is syslog, and you have Splunk_TA_nix installed, you should get the user information that you want. If you really want it all in one field, you could try this in your props.conf:

[mysourcetype]
REPORT-myfield = myfield

Then in your transforms.conf

[myfield]
REGEX = (\w{3}\s+\d+\s+\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*Accepted\spassword\sfor\s(\S+)
FORMAT = myfield::Time:$1 & User=$2

Not positive about the spaces in the FORMAT section, but it's a start.
