Log improvement: name the key
Currently, the log appears as:
Sun Aug 20 20:46:04 2023 authpriv.notice dropbear[24780]: Pubkey auth succeeded for [...] with ssh-rsa key SHA256:x5WgJCzOjJbYS/COOkMeO5t4GHxJhh89fFqtXUQ052Q from [...]
SHA256 can identify a key, but no human would search the hashes from the log to see which key was used. It would be best if the key was named.
Example: For this key:
cat /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
ssh-rsa [...] name-of-the-key
Log to look like this:
Sun Aug 20 20:46:04 2023 authpriv.notice dropbear[24780]: Pubkey auth succeeded for [...] with ssh-rsa key 'name-of-the-key' from [...]
Thank you for dropbear!
