 handles ipv6 the problem is the behavior of ssh is to map all ipv4
 addresses as ipv6 in this manner when the user connected using ipv4 it
 also maps this way if ipv6 is used even if the user who connects uses
 standard hex notation to connect. this can confus an operator who is not
 familiar with ipv6.


 I agree, although another solution would be to use the Prelude-Manager
 normalization plugin to fix the problem, since other products could
 exhibit the same behavior as OpenSSH. Then maybe we should fix Normalize
 so that it always remap IPv6 mapped IPv4 address to IPv4.

 of the address in this case.


 In the attached patch, all the rule now use (\S+), allowing to merge IPv4
 and IPv6 rules together, and let the Normalization plugin set the
 ''address.category'' member.

 it reports all non root users as root is a major bug


 This is also ported in the attached file.
