A Feature Request

[Devang Modi]

Dear Sir,

I wish to highlight a security limitation for OpenSSH/PAM.

Issue is attached with openssh-server-5.3p1-122.el6.x86_64
and pam-1.1.1-24.el6.x86_64. Or Both.

*Description of Issue:*

When some unknown visitor tries to open SSH connection and does not submit
password, */var/log/secure* log file is not logging source IP.

In absence of such information (IP) it will be tough to find and block such
visitor.

In case of DDoS attack, were attacker is not giving password but just
establishing connection on SSH, administrator become helpless.

But in same kind of attack or attempt , if unknown visitor submit password
string, openssh logs IP in /var/log/secure log file under name called rhost.

Kindly confirm and possible register this as a feature request.

thanks
Devang
