I have not had the time to investigate how to test for the common
cases you list. In case you want to speed things up, please consider
sending precise information or even a patch. What I need are obvious
characteristics that I can use to distinguish remote sessions from
local ones. Unfortunately, sudo purges $SSH_CONNECTION from the
environment, and su does not propagate it either.
One way to do it might be to obtain the current terminal node and
check whether it was created by sshd:
PTS=$(readlink /proc/$$/fd/0)
pgrep -f "^sshd.+${PTS#/dev/}$" >/dev/null
I'll put this suggestion by Craig Small and Don Armstrong into the
next version.
Otherwise, if molly-guard does not suit your purpose, then I suggest
you purge it.
