On this topic, I recently updated my accounting patches
to apply to 4.2p1:
    http://caesious.beasts.org/~chris/tmp/20051220/openssh-4.2p1-server-accounting.patch

Many thanks to John Kozubik, who paid for this work.

the distribution; the patch is a little ugly, but I
couldn't see a more attractive way to write the thing.
Any comments?
