 Can't this be accomplished with the UseLogin flag in sshd.conf?

 (login(1) being one of the processes which checks /etc/ttyaction on
 login, having ssh use it means you get what you want.)

 I'll grant that, seeing as telnetd has this functionality, adding it
 to sshd would be nice (and also, the UseLogin setting is ignored on
 command execution).

 That flag does indeed have that effect for interactive sessions, but
 as you later state:

 > (and also, the UseLogin setting is ignored on command execution).

 I can confirm that.  Unfortunately, that makes it mostly useless for
 my purposes.  Oh, well, at least this version of ssh logs the
 authenticated user and the provenance of the connection on the same
 line, which is the most important thing!  So I can't really complain.

 Indeed. :-)  It's a low priority, but it would be nice.

 Anne.

State-Changed-Why:
not a netbsd issue, and openssh won't change in that regard. looking at the pr, this doesn't seem to be an issue worth keeping open in that case.
