[opensuse] sshd syslog message format

8 May 2008

      Hi List,

Is there any way to instruct sshd to log the numerical ip address on 
failed authentication.

For example I do not want this in the log:

a)    sshd[30851]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for root from 
66.red-81-45-223.staticip.rima-tde.net

Rather I would want to have:

b)    sshd[30851]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for root from 
81.45.223.66

In most cases the sshd entry in the syslog file is the (b) format type 
but a quite few are in the (a) format and I'm not sure how to instruct 
sshd to only log in the (b) format.

Thanks for any advice/help.

Rgds. Otto.
