There are a couple of instances when sshd will send a message to syslog saying "Don't panic" if you are logging auth.info. I change this on my site because Big Brother monitors the logs and freaks out when it sees the word panic. Do you think it is worth submitting a bug report to change the wording to use a word other than panic? -- Mark Keisler "Blessed is he who finds happiness in his own foolishness, for he will always be happy".
I'm assuming you are refering to:
$ find . -type f | xargs grep -i "panic"
./readconf.c: /* don't panic, but count bad options */
./sshd.c: logit("probed from %s with %s. Don't
panic.",
./sshd.c: logit("scanned from %s with %s. Don't
panic.",

I bet there are a dozen ways that I could get the word "panic" into your syslog, do you think that Big Brother should freak out on all of them? -d
