Summary: openssh client truncates banner at 1024 characters.
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: ix86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: shaun at pnl.gov
It looks like the current version of the openssh client is truncating the
banner to 1024 characters. This was not the case with 3.5p1 and earlier. The
openssh server does present banners larger than 1024 characters- this looks
like a ssh client problem. (I don't see the problem when I use older openssh
clients from the same initiating computers)
Unfortunately, the department of energy banner that I'm mandated to use is just
a couple of hundred characters longer.
Below is our standard banner from /etc/issue.
