dont use the debugging option? :)  Really, a better solution is probably to
add an option that logs authentication success/failure, rather than enabling
debugging or altering the debugging to operate differently.

I have about 4 patches from various people that I need to review.  i'll look
at such an option along with those...which honestly have been on my todo
list for much too long.
