Hello!


I am somewhat confused about sshd writing messages to the syslog.
On 3.x systems with the sshd installed from ports
(e.g. sshd version 1.2.27 [i386--freebsd3.5.1] ),
I have much more verbose logging, then on 4.x systems with the
"core" openssh (e.g. sshd version OpenSSH_2.3.0 ).

As an example, here is the excerpts from logs on the same type of 
event for 3.x and 4.x systems:

3.x and sshd 1.2.27:

Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.info> host3.x sshd[7623]: connect from 210.97.143.20
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.info> host3.x sshd[7623]: log: Connection from 210.97.143.20 port 1257
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.info> host3.x sshd[7623]: log: Could not reverse map address 210.97.143.20.
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.info> host3.x sshd[7624]: connect from 210.97.143.20
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.info> host3.x sshd[7624]: log: Connection from 210.97.143.20 port 1253
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.info> astra sshd[7624]: log: Could not reverse map address 210.97.143.20.
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.err> astra sshd[7623]: fatal: Local: Your ssh version is too old and is no longer supported.  Please install a newer version.
Dec 21 11:05:36 <auth.err> astra sshd[7624]: fatal: Local: Your ssh version is too old and is no longer supported.  Please install a newer version.


4.x and  OpenSSH_2.3.0:

Dec 21 11:05:26 <auth.info> host4.x sshd[67562]: Disconnecting: Your ssh version is too old and is no longer supported.  Please install a newer version.
Dec 21 11:05:39 <auth.info> host4.x sshd[67565]: Disconnecting: Your ssh version is too old and is no longer supported.  Please install a newer version.


I see that the priority of the messages changed between the versions.
However, even enabling "auth.*" logging does not show the "connect from .."
messages.
In both cases sshd is run as a standalone daemon.

Any ideas/sugggestions as for how to enable this logging in OpenSSH ?
(Am I just overlooking something obvious ?)

Thanks,

Igor
