I noticed I got a sshd update recently. Now I have bazillions

Disconnected from NN.NN.NN.NN port 41236 : 1 time(s)
  Received disconnect from NN.NN.NN.NN port 39642:11: disconnected by user : 1 
time(s)

Logging in and logging out are are normal activities
in a working ssh. How the devil can I stop this logging
of utterly useless information? (Which for me happens
every 5 minutes due to a cron job I have running at
work that phones home :-).
I don't think these messages were not there before. But the format changed a bit (added port number) and it is not handled by Logwatch as it should be.

Sorry I didn't notice earlier before pushing that into F23. But this needs to be fixed in Logwatch at least for F24. There is patch for the second line, but I have no idea why the first was not visible before. Can you please fill a bug on logwatch?

Kind regards,
