Hello
I have a use-case where I need to be able to trace SSH connections and
tunnels for traceability and security compliance purposes.
More specifically, I need to be able to:
- log every outgoing SSH connection on the client side including user ID
and command details
- log every SSH tunnel on the server side including source, target, ports
and user ID
Would such extra logging be acceptable for inclusion in the upstream code?
I have attached a patch that implements this extra logging.
Regards,
Zoltan
