Description Paul Swartz 2004-03-23 23:09:41 AEDT 
If a connected client with an open shell starts a new session channel and
connects it to a shell, the MOTD will be repeated twice in the new shell.  It
will be repeated 3 times in a third, etc.  The number of open shells is not
important, only the total number of shells since the start of the session.

What client are you using?
Comment 2 Paul Swartz 2004-03-23 23:15:56 AEDT

Yep, works like a charm!
Comment 5 Darren Tucker 2004-03-25 16:28:02 AEDT 
Cool.  Is the patch OK for 3.8.1p1?

Clear loginmsg after fork.

OK for 3.8.1p1. Make sure it gets into OpenBSD after the unlock too, if
relevant.
Comment 7 Darren Tucker 2004-03-26 22:46:38 AEDT 
Patch applied, thanks for the report.

Note that there is currently no equivalent to loginmsg in OpenBSD's sshd.
