    <p>Those are the only ones I'm seeing in either log. Let me test it
      a bit, see if startup/shutdown messages occur too.</p>
    <p>Not only that, I am seeing samba messages in the sshd log, and I
      should not. When I do lsof, it seems the samba daemon is writing
      it's own logs, so it's not surprising that there's no errors in
      that log. But why am I seeing samba messages in sshd.log, and why
      am I seeing samba and sshd in /var/log/messages.</p>
    <p>And if what you say about the security/auth is correct, then
      something else is screwy here because I ONLY have auth/info
      listed. NOT authpriv. Frankly, i'd say that it sounds like I need
      to just change to program("sshd") but I'm not sure if that will
      fix anything. I'll do that, just to see. <br>
    </p>
    <p>In the mean time, I have two files that are live copies of files
      in my web site. <br>
    </p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.newideatest.site/syslog-ng-debug">https://www.newideatest.site/syslog-ng-debug</a> is exactly that.
      it's the constant running output from syslog-ng -Fdav<br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.newideatest.site/system_log">https://www.newideatest.site/system_log</a> is a symlink to the actual
      /var/log/messages. Since this is not a truly "live" server yet,
      just something holding my email while I setup some tests this
      isn't really a security risk.</p>
    <p>Take a look at these to see what's going on.<br>

      <div>The next important question is that do you see all sshd log
        messages in /var/log/messages or just some of them. I see two
        kind of sshd related log message:</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>[2021-04-07T12:29:43.875056] Incoming log entry;
        line='<38>Apr 7 12:29:43 sshd[30745]: Accepted
        keyboard-interactive/pam for dan from XXXX port 40747 ssh2'</div>
      <div>[2021-04-07T12:29:43.878136] Incoming log entry;
        line='<86>Apr 7 12:29:43 sshd[30745]:
        pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user dan(uid=1001) by
        (uid=0)'</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>As the two has different values in <>, at least one of
        them is differ from auth/info.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>By the way <38> is security(4)/info and <86> is
        security(10)/info. So both are security/auth message in some way
        but still different facilities (4 and 6) which is called as
        auth(4) and authpriv(10) within syslog-ng.</div>

          <div>I believe that Bazsi (Balázs) wasn't really looking for
            the startup messages about the config being parsed, but
            instead about the debug/trace output of the log processing

          <div>There he would be able to check which filters were run
