     It may be possible, I don't actually use that feature.  I just
noted that you completely deleted a chunk of code that deals with
aborting the operation.

     If you're that concerned about privacy, then you shouldn't be
sending anything to the syslog.  Anyways, it's not that hard to
figure out who the user is.  Not having the info in the "session
start" message is simply an annoyance, and doesn't increase privacy.

     Can you make the above changes first?  Have you integrated all
the changes from BSCN?  Actually, do you have a complete list of the
fixes/enhancements that you've done?
