If you read "man 8 sshd" it explains the log possibilities with sshd.
By default it logs messages as type "AUTH".
You need to adjust /etc/ssh/sshd_config to reflect what you want and
then make appropriate changes to /etc/syslog.conf to reflect where you
want to see the messages (man 5 syslog.conf).
