Operating Systems Solaris Removing "Failed none for" error messages from sshd logs files Post 302371590 by Mr_Webster on Sunday 15th of November 2009 08:14:28 PM
Old 11-15-2009
The problem is this log entry is generated everytime someone successfully logs in:

Nov 16 09:36:02 server389 sshd[22753]: [ID 800047 local2.notice] Failed none for jonesh from 10.2.79.221 port 1364 ssh2

This causes logsurfer to send of 100's of e-mails every day.

How can sshd be stopped from logging this message?

This only occurs on one server - the other server have the same log level config, sshd config, pam config, sshd version etc. so its odd that only this system is logging these messages.

thanks - I will have a look.

There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
