I have this same problem, however I know the cause of the problem. I am using Monit which checks that SSHd is responding, so every time it checks, a log entry is made.
Is there possibly some way to reduce the amount of logging by SSHd? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965654 Title: /var/log/auth spam every 2 mins: sshd[*]: Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 [preauth] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/965654/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
