Since i/we didn't receive any answer on secureshell at securityfocus.com I
like to ask this question to you.

What's your opinion on this topic?

Thanks! Miro

There exist patches for OpenSSH that allow it to perform per user
traffic
accounting.

Further, new releases increasingly are being met with the "it still
doesn't do per user traffic accounting ?" comment.

( http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=161168&cid=13488466 )

Can someone tell me why this is not implemented ?  Is it a philosophical
question, or is it just low priority ?  Perhaps the patches just weren't
good ones and nobody wants to redo them ?

All comments appreciated.

This topic is also very important to me and I wanted to ask for it...
For commercial usage/applications this would be a prerequisite.

Would be great to have this feature :-)
