Another user (Linc Davis) sent me an email on this topic:
======
I'm running it on MacOS 10.5. I had to make some changes to the config
file. There is no longer an asl.log; instead, sshd messages are written
to /var/log/secure.log. The Mac-specific SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX is no longer
needed.
======
Perhaps his comments will be helpful. I'm not a Mac user so forward any
success or failures back to the list.
Regards,
Phil
