One way that I have used in the past that doesn't require programming skills
is to use crystal reports to bring up those reports.  It should be pretty
simple to get what you want out with it.

Hi all.  I've been reading this list for a while, and have followed 
the discussion of the automated probes that have become pretty common 
against SSH servers.  Same deal here.

I have a couple boxes using SSH which log to a central syslog server.  
I want to be able to keep track of who and when people login to these 
boxes, but since my logs are now filled up with thousands of lines of 
login errors (illegal user, not in allow list, etc), its getting to be 
a pain to sort through the garbage to keep track of what I want (not 
to mention a major waste of paper on the syslogd printer)

What I want to do is log only successful logins, but not all the 
script kiddie's probing - I know they are there, I can deal with 
that.  None of INFO, ERROR, FATAL or QUIET does the job.  
Unfortunately my programming skills suck or I would dig in myself....

Maybe someone here has a suggestion short of that?  Or maybe I have 
missed some trick somewhere?

Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work.

Version is OpenSSH  3.8p1, not using PAM
