Created attachment 2437 [details] code changes for the disablebanner option In the client part of section 5.4 (Banner message) in RFE 4252 (SSH authentication Protocol), it states that "By Default, the client Should display the 'message" on the screen. However, since the 'message' is likely to be sent for every login attempt, and sinced some client software will need to open a separate window for this warning, the client software may allow the user to explicitly disable the display of banners from the server." Currently, this client part of the implementation does not exist in the OpenSSH code. We have implemented a client's DisableBanner feature for Solaris and would like to contribute back our implementation. DisableBanner If set to yes, disables the display of the banner message. If set to in-exec-mode, disables the display of banner message when in remote command mode only. The default value is no, which means that the banner is displayed unless the log level is QUIET, FATAL, or ERROR. See also the Banner option in sshd_config(8). This option applies to protocol version 2 only. Attached is our implementation patch, which was applied to OpenSSH6.5p1.
LogLevel=quiet doesn't show the banner. I don't think we need a separate option for it.
We're not interested in adding another option for this.
Thank you for the evaluation.
closing resolved bugs as of 8.6p1 release
