http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=531018 This might be an openssh bug --- but I can't confirm other than the openssh team changed the way banner handling happens in sshconnect2.c I asked on forums and at one other saw the same behavior, so I figured that would constitute a bug. Plus, it was not clear whether this is an "app" bug or a "server" bug --- or something else. I'd classify it as a bug with the client (ssh) but its under net-misc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: install 3.7.1p1 from portage, add the banner specified in the forums post, and ssh to the host with the banner. . . Actual Results: see forum posting. Expected Results: not truncated the banner. this may be a bug in openssh --- but I don't have enough gentoo boxes to find out (only have qty. 1) and the solaris boxes I have are looking fine for some reason. If its an openssh bug, do I need to report that, or do you guys elevate it up to them? Let me know either way.
did you try 3.7.1p2 ?
Yes, I did. Same behavior. Were any of you able to confirm the bug? I've only got one confirmation so far from the poster on forums.gento.org. Thanks, adam
There is a post to openssh-unix-dev, but I haven't seen any replies. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=106379755630343&w=2
