Hi! It would be easier to trace a connection in the logs if sshd reported the change of pid with LogLevel set to verbose instead of debug2. Is it possible to have it changed? Regards Claes Leufv?n Here is a patch for it: --- sshd.c_orig 2005-11-21 10:51:08.000000000 +0100 +++ sshd.c 2005-11-21 10:51:11.000000000 +0100 @@ -652,7 +652,7 @@ if (pmonitor->m_pid == -1) fatal("fork of unprivileged child failed"); else if (pmonitor->m_pid != 0) { - debug2("User child is on pid %ld", (long)pmonitor->m_pid); + verbose("User child is on pid %ld", (long)pmonitor->m_pid); close(pmonitor->m_recvfd); buffer_clear(&loginmsg); monitor_child_postauth(pmonitor); -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
