This was a deliberate change in OpenSSH (https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/5becbec023f2037394987f85ed7f74b9a28699e0 and a few other commits). Let's use the non-portable version (OpenBSD 7.2, OpenSSH 9.1): Edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the line: *.err;auth.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;mail.crit /dev/console As the comment says: "be aware that this could create lots of output". At this point it will exhibit the same behavior. FreeBSD ships with this line uncommented, that's why it is more perceptible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
