Summary: Banner only suppressed at log level = QUIET (used to be
at log level < INFO)
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 4.3p2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: bitbucket@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: Dean.Kopesky@reuters.com
I don't know whether this counts as a "bug" or a "feature", but I
figured I'd report it....
Prior to version 3.8, the pre-authentication banner (e.g., /etc/issue)
was suppressed at LogLevel=ERROR|FATAL|QUIET. Since 3.8, it has only
been suppressed at LogLevel=QUIET. This change was a side-effect of
the following mod:
- dtucker@cvs.openbsd.org 2003/10/07 01:47:27
[sshconnect2.c]
Don't use logit for banner, since it truncates to MSGBUFSIZ;
bz #668 & #707. ok markus@
The relevant code is in sshconnect2.c:
input_userauth_banner(int type, u_int32_t seq, void *ctxt)
{
char *msg, *lang;
debug3("input_userauth_banner");
msg = packet_get_string(NULL);
lang = packet_get_string(NULL);
if (options.log_level > SYSLOG_LEVEL_QUIET)
fprintf(stderr, "%s", msg);
xfree(msg);
xfree(lang);
}
Was this change in the log level at which the banner prints
intentional?
When ssh is used inside scripts, or forked inside programs, it is (or
rather, was) very nice to be able to suppress the banner, but still get
error messages. However, we must now choose both or neither.
