This isn't a problem with openssh per se, but impacts some users on Linux, and I wonder if I can get an amen on a netstat/net-utils change proposal. Splitting out sshd-session had an unfortunate side-effect: on Linux if you are used to using netstat -antp to see what user process is associated with which socket, the longer process name squeezes out the username. Prior to the change: # netstat -antp | egrep 'EST.*sshd' tcp 0 36 127.0.0.1:22 127.0.0.1:20560 ESTABLISHED 226228/sshd: foo After the change: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:22 127.0.0.1:40222 ESTABLISHED 5266/sshd-session: netstat has a -W/--wide flag, but it has no impact on the width of the proctitle info added by the -p flag. So I created https://sourceforge.net/p/net-tools/bugs/50/ about either making the width subject to -W, or simply increasing the #define from 20 to 30; no feedback yet so I don't know how such changes would be received (that might be my answer). [ Yes, netstat is old&busted and we should all be using ss, except ss's -p flag pulls argv[0] not proctitle, so it's no help. Also the process is still owned by root so a simple check like the owner of the process or socket doesn't really help either. ] Does anybody else routinely make use of netstat -antp for this reason, and miss the utility of it after this change? If so please go chime in on that discussion, if nothing else you'll motivate me to submit a patch. Thanks, -- Hank Leininger <hlein@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 8428 ED14 5268 C727 0C48 F454 846F 0637 5FEB 1612
