You said, &quot;I would like to know if there is way we can log the public key of the client in ssh log file.&quot;<br />
<br />
As said above, you can log everything (serialband) + this will produce a lot of log data (skullnobrains).<br />
<br />
Maybe ask the question behind your question.<br />
<br />
In other words, describe what problem you're trying to solve using logging.

How to log public key of ssh client to ssh server?

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.
