These are because of some bugs in syslog failure handler which I fixed a few hours ago. It tried to print an error message but died instead.
If try to connect to the server, I get alternating (auth) and (login) "killed with signal 6" every second or so... weird.
For an odd reason, auth_user has to be root for it to not do this...
It didn't have read-access to the passwd file?
