That just controls what gets written to the syslog upon success and
upon failure.  The 7.3 box logs which host connected, and for successful
connections, how long it lasted.  The 7.2 box is only setup to log the
user.  You can adjust this to whatever you'd like to see in the
syslog.

Cheers,
Tanner
