Ive been at it for several days now trying to get at the username (avatarId), session id (SSHChannel session # I imagine), and terminal protocol instance (recvline.HistoricRecvLine) of my application's SSH terminal service's clients. Specifically, I'm trying to expose these three things (for all connected users) to my terminal commands which are using the plugin system.

I'm not considerably far off from this example for the setup, http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/conch/documentation/examples/demo_recvline .tac, minus the telnet support.

For the life of me I can't seem to determine how best to approach this. Ive come as far as getting a list of the terminal recvline.HistoricRecvLine instances and then being able to manipulate the client terminals directly, but I need the usernames from the avatars and session id as well.

I imagine this is a pretty common and simple thing, so I'm hoping that somebody can point me in the right direction. Please help if you can.

The realm's requestAvatar is passed the avatarId: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/conch/manhole_ssh.py#L82 See how this realm (which I assume is the one you're using, since it is the one used by demo_recvline) passes the avatarId to its `userFactory´, but the `TerminalUser´ which is the default `userFactory´ ignores it. It seems like you want to provide an alternate `userFactory´ which saves the avatarId passed to it. For the session id, perhaps this information you can find on the connection object.
