It remains empty, on both servers.

Based on time stamp, it appears to last touched when I ran sshd from command
line. As said, now the sshd is running as a service on an user account. With
SYSTEM account, service still fails to start with error code 255. I believe
sshd fails to _execute_ for some curious reason (so it doesn't get to open
the log), but why?
