No, there's no easy way to get to it since there's all sorts of optional info
that the other side can send in various place (e.g. in so-called pam auth
messages), if you wanted to extract custom data you'd have to change the code
in session/ssh2_authc.c to pick out the bits you're interested in (see the
code and code comments for how incredibly complex this can get).
