openssh bugs - Feb 2007 - [Bug 1282] Log which key used for authentication

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1282

           Summary: Log which key used for authentication
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: low-hanging-fruit
          Severity: security
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: bbeaudoin at peer1.com


In INFO mode, the number of the key in .ssh/authorized_keys isn't
logged (though sshd does log the fact a public key was used for
authentication).  The same issue occurs when a valid key is used from
an invalid host (the system logs that a valid key was presented, but
not which one).

The man page states that DEBUG logging level is not recommended for
privacy reasons; there is a real need to audit connections based on the
keys used from which hosts.  Could this logging feature be moved from
DEBUG to INFO to alieviate audit concerns without the additional
verbosity?

Have you tried "LogLevel VERBOSE"?
