SSHD privsep child according to your strace log tried to contact syslogd right 
after privsep monitor crashed, so there is generally nothing you should do in 
addition to what I advised. But if you want to explicitly add debug logging, 
you should invoke openlog() right before invoking syslog(), and invoke 
closelog() after you are done with syslogging. Consult manpages for details of 
those functions.
