You can just grep the output of tail:


Code:
USER=john
RHOST=in.com
tail -f logs/application.log | grep "user $USER"

The other thing you can do is install pam_script and set up a "onsessionopen" and "onsessionclose" script which will generate such a logfile, and is guaranteed to run (unless sshd is killed with -9).
