"User child is on pid"-logging

[Claes Leufven]

Hi!

I sent a mail a while ago wondering if it was possible to change the
loglevel for the "User child is on pid"-message from debug2 to
verbose. It would make it easier to trace a connection in the logs
when privilege separation is used and sshd uses the user child pid to
report that the connection is closing . Is it possible to change this
or would it violate the privacy of the users?
