This probably isn't what you mean, but -- I looked in /var/log/.  sshd.log
is length 0 and hasn't been touched in several weeks.  The only file with a
current modification timestamp is lastlog, which contains nothing of
interest (mainly binary zeroes).  To activate sshd debugging, I used the
Windows Computer Management > Services panel and gave '-d 5' as a start
parameter; started the sshd service, attempted a login, stopped the service,
and looked at sshd.log.  It was still zero length.

So - what must I do to get ssh logging and useful sshd debugging
information?

Best regards,
Chap
