IMHO, SSH should set certain environment variables (ie REMOTE_USER, REMOTE_HOST,
etc) so the server (the machine you're SSH'ing to) can perform whatever checks
it wishes. Would such an enhancement adversely affect security (other than the
standard "It'll make the software more complicated" response)?

Subject: permitting root logins by net/mask pairs?
Hi,
I know this feature hasn't been implemented in any ssh version so far. Does
anyone else think it is useful enough to make it into a future release? If so,
can it? It still seems like a very useful feature to me.
Thanks,
