Hi Eric,
logging is configured in sshd_config with
-
# Logging
# obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO
-
where 'SyslogFacility' specifies which "facility" (sorry;-),
i.e. e.g. 'auth', 'daemon', 'mail' etc should be used
and with 'LogLevel' you can specify how verbosely sshd should be.
Of course the syslog-daemon (syslogd) must be running and configured in the
right way, e.g.:
In /etc/syslog.conf add someting like
-
# added for ssh-daemon
# 20020619 Bert Courtin
auth.info;auth.debug /var/log/authlog
-
After configuring your syslogd, you'll have to stop and start it again or
send a kill -HUP PID to the process to let your changes take effect.
Please also refer to the manual pages for sshd as well as syslogd.
Kind regards,
Bert Courtin
