/var/log/auth.log not logging after migration from different server

[Remington]

I did a complete data migration from different server using zfs snapshot. Now the new server is not logging user logins. I checked my sshd_config and it's identical to my original server setup. What else am I missing? I don't want to have to do a complete clean reinstall as it will be a last resort. I've thought of installing sshd from ports to replace the base sshd. I'm using FreeBSD 13.2.

It's not defined in sshd_config, it's done through syslog, see /etc/syslog.conf.

auth.info;authpriv.info                         /var/log/auth.log

File must exist though, so maybe you just need to touch /var/log/auth.log.

/etc/syslog.conf is the same. I've touched /var/log/auth.log and restarted syslogd service. It's still showing nothing in /var/log/auth.log.

However, it's odd that auth works in jails but not the host.
