Public bug reported:
I noticed while debugging an unrelated issue that pam_ecryptfs is
outputting useless messages to syslog for every PAM authentication:
Aug 31 11:22:08 virgil gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_sm_authenticate: Called
Aug 31 11:22:08 virgil gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_sm_authenticate: username
= [vorlon]
Aug 31 12:43:00 virgil gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_sm_authenticate: Called
Aug 31 12:43:00 virgil gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_sm_authenticate: username
= [vorlon]
Aug 31 13:24:06 virgil sudo: pam_sm_authenticate: Called
Aug 31 13:24:06 virgil sudo: pam_sm_authenticate: username = [vorlon]
Aug 31 13:27:00 virgil sudo: pam_sm_authenticate: Called
Aug 31 13:27:00 virgil sudo: pam_sm_authenticate: username = [vorlon]
There's no reason for logging of messages like this in anything but a
debug mode.
