Bug#447935: openssh-client: please provide a way for ssh-agent to send a notification when used

[Ratiu Petru <rpetre@gmail.com>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.6p1-5
Severity: wishlist


I'm currently concerned with possible attacks when forwarding the agent
to shared hosts. I believe that having ssh-agent logging key uses would
be a step to at least identifying misbehaving root users along the way.
Notifications via libnotify would be real sweet, as well.

I haven't noticed any way of obtaining this info from ssh-agent's
manpage, so if it exists, pardon me and consider this a bug against the
documentation.
