Logging SSH sessions in utmp

[gcazian]

We want to be able to see which SSH sessions are currently running on our servers. Unfortunately, the 'who' command does not display SSH sessions.

Is there any way to change this? Is there some sort of setting to add in the ssh config file, etc.?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you have IBM's release of OpenSSH then it is a feature.

in reply to the problem reported, IBM said on the site:

Normally, ssh would show the hostname rather than the IP address. The hostname lookup has been disabled in recent IBM ssh releases because it was creating slowdowns (several minutes' worth per ssh session) for several customers.

to solve the problem (and the other problems) I had installed this OpenSSH:
