Er, that's strange.  What PAM modules are you seeing this with?  I always
use sshd with PrivilegeSeparation enabled, and so far as I can remember my
PAM modules have never had any trouble logging output to syslog, including
full debug output for every step in the process.  Maybe something new
changed, but I would have thought I'd notice.
