    You've got per-interface accounting - can you force one user per interface ?

    I don't think you mentioned you OS but that's another place to consider
    putting per-user accounting. It may not be simple but it's likely you
    upgrade OS less often than your SSH programs and it has the advantage of
    covering other traffic than ssh. How this approach blends with privilege
    separation I wouldn't like to guess.
