openssh unix dev - Sep 2023 - [Feature Request] mention hostname on -v

I've got a usecase right now where I've got to use a few
intermediate ProxyJump hosts, and it would help debugging
via -v tremendously if the debug lines would have a prefix
of the originating host, so that they can be easily associated.


The FQDN might be too long, though -- perhaps just the PID
with an additional line associating it with the host would be
a better fit?


Thanks!

it's a bit of a hack, but you can get PID in debug messages right now
using LogVerbose=*, though you'll probably need to set it in ssh_config
if you're using ProxyJump as options from the command-line are mostly
not passed to the subordinate ssh processes.
