Bug Description
I noticed while debugging an unrelated issue that pam_ecryptfs is outputting useless messages to syslog for every PAM authentication:

Aug 31 13:27:00 virgil sudo: pam_sm_

There's no reason for logging of messages like this in anything but a debug mode.

Hmm, Steve, how can you tell that it's pam_ecryptfs doing this? Do I
just have some debug flag/value higher than it should be in
pam_ecryptfs?
