    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to run a script upon a successful login
    (of any user) via openssh.
    The ssh server is being setup for very limited remote access, so we'd
    like to monitor logins by having an email sent to the administrator
    whenever a user is successfully logged in.
    We only want the script to trigger for openssh logins (local logins
    we're not interested in), but I can't figure out how to set this up
    other than in the .bash_profile
    The other thing I considered was having a cron job watch the
    authentication logs, but I'd prefer something that runs only when
    necissary than having to constantly poll the logs.

    I've googled and come up with nothing, and read through all the config
    options and can't find anything. I also thought of using a PAM module
    to do this, but can't find anything appropriate.

    Any ideas?

    Regards
    Chris
