Package: openssh-server Version: 1:5.1p1-6 sshd now appears to log absolutely nothing at all when pubkey authentication fails for a valid user.
only when LogLevel is increased from the default INFO to VERBOSE level does sshd log the failure, e.g.: Jun 18 01:36:51 xxxxxxx sshd[9811]: Connection from [ip] port 38189 Jun 18 01:36:52 xxxxxxx sshd[9811]: Failed publickey for [valid username] from [ip] port 38189 ssh2 this seems rather important after DSA 1576. i would think that the "Failed publickey for [valid username]" message would at least be logged at default LogLevel. -- Robert Edmonds edmo...@debian.org
