When someone attempts to login into remote desktop, a log entry is created:

This is a log entry for an unknown to the system user:
---
Nov 22 16:53:22 snf-11601 xrdp-sesman: pam_unix(xrdp-sesman:auth):
check pass; user unknown
Nov 22 16:53:22 snf-11601 xrdp-sesman: pam_unix(xrdp-sesman:auth):
authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=

This for an known user:
---
Nov 22 16:53:27 snf-11601 xrdp-sesman: pam_unix(xrdp-sesman:auth):
authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost=
user=user

However, none of them include the 'rhost' which is important if one
wants to create a regex and use fail2ban (or similar) to ban an IP for
many failed login attempts.

I would like to ask you to include the remote user's IP in the failed
attempts logging.

Thank you.
