I completely second this. In a cluster auth logging is even less useful
since you still don't know where they logged in. Much better is some
form of centralized logging (syslog-ng over the network or something).
With about 85K users auth logging was absolutely destroying my cluster,
I picked up a noticeable performance boost merely by turning this off.
