I'm using sysklogd and I need to have all ssh connections logged. Any ideas? :roll:

look in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file for the work logging. You can set you log level there.

I have so far, before I originally posted, uncommented this stuff:
Code:
# Logging
#obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO


What else should be changed? Here's the config with only the lines above having been uncommented.
Code:

#       $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.59 2002/09/25 11:17:16 markus Exp $

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file.  See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented.  Uncommented options change a
# default value.

#Port 22
#Protocol 2,1
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::

# HostKey for protocol version 1
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

# Lifetime and size of ephemeral version 1 server key
#KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
#ServerKeyBits 768

#obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging

#PubkeyAuthentication yes
#AuthorizedKeysFile     .ssh/authorized_keys

# rhosts authentication should not be used
#RhostsAuthentication no
# Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files
#IgnoreRhosts yes
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
#RhostsRSAAuthentication no
# similar for protocol version 2
#HostbasedAuthentication no
# Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for
# RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts no

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
#PasswordAuthentication yes
#PermitEmptyPasswords no

# Change to no to disable s/key passwords
#ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

My config file is very similar to yours, except that I still have those two lines commented and I get logging as usual. I have sometimes found in the case of logging that creating the log directory helps. In this case,

mkdir /var/log/sshd

I know it cheesy, but it worked with cups a little while ago. Like I said, I have those logging lines commented out, so logging must be the default behavior.
