On the remote system, the configuration for sshd is /etc/ssh/sshd_config
You can control the logging in that file.
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config
LogLevel
             Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging
messages from sshd(8).  The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR,
INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1, DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.  The default is INFO.
             DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equivalent.  DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each
specify higher levels of debugging output.  Logging with a DEBUG level
             violates the privacy of users and is not recommended.
