Bug Description

On several kinds of log messages, the syslog error level is off. This is quite annoying when using the systemd journal, since journalctl formats messages according to their syslog level. See man syslog(3) for description of the syslog levels.

> Jul 12 19:55:25 <host> sshd[6507]: fatal: Write failed: Connection reset by peer [preauth]

This one is currently LOG_CRIT, should probably be LOG_WARNING, since it is most likely caused by network problems on the remote side.

> Jul 15 12:38:54 <host> sshd[21025]: error: Received disconnect from <remote-ip>: 3: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail [preauth]

This one is currently LOG_ERR, should probably be LOG_NOTICE, since it is caused by specified behaviour of the remote side in the preauth phase.
