It is silenceable though. "ssh -q" or setting LogLevel=quiet stops it @djm Yes, -q or LogLevel=QUIET silences it, but that also silences even FATAL and ERROR messages. If it we set to an actual LogLevel, then one could set LogLevel to ERROR and silence it while still receiving ERROR and FATAL messages, should they occur. This has been committed and will be in OpenSSH 8.9 commit 1385513b95a12b38e8270ddf34c2d5dc4aeb806b (HEAD -> master) Author: djm@openbsd.org <djm@openbsd.org> Date: Tue Jan 11 01:26:47 2022 +0000 upstream: suppress "Connection to xxx closed" messages at LogLevel >= error bz3378; ok dtucker@ closing bugs resolved before openssh-8.9 |
Created attachment 3563 [details] Change "Shared connection ..closed" message from "always" to VERBOSE The message "Shared connectio to <host> closed." cannot be silenced without silencing ALL messages from ssh. Please change it to be of LogLevel INFO, or VERBOSE, or add a config option to silence it (e.g. MuxMessages default yes). ``` $ ssh -t daplane ls > /dev/null Shared connection to 172.16.16.1 closed. $ ``` I understand that there are workarounds (e.g.,don't use -t, but sometimes the remote tool needs a tty); however, one should be able to silence the message (e.g., change LogLevel to ERROR) without silencing ERROR and FATAL messages. Attached is a simple patch that should suffice.
