From what I understand, it sends it log entrys, by default, to syslogd, at the auth.info level, so wherever this goes, I should find the logs - have I got that right? The curious thing is, I can't find 'em. I've looked in /etc/syslog.conf, and by that I've set them to go to /var/log/auth.log, which I've created and chmod'd to 0600. I've even tried putting a "*.* /dev/console" at the top of /etc/syslog.conf, and now all the system messages are coming to the console....but still no signs of anything from sshd - failed logins, successful logins, nothing to the logs.... Anyone got any ideas? I've tried changing the loglevel to DEBUG, which I'm sure should spill loads of crap to the log every time somone logs in, but still nothing. I've made sure to send a SIGHUP to sshd and syslogd every time I changed something in the respective config files... ...and still nothing. I have to admit, I'm quite, quite confused as to where the hell they are going.
