That seems like a bad idea to me.  OpenSSH is an SSH implementation, not an
inventory system.  If you're authorized to log on to the box and want to know
what it's running, log on and run "uname -sr".  If you're not authorized then
sshd shouldn't give free hints.

SunSSH may be based on OpenSSH originally, but it's a fork and current versions
behave very differently.  Even a "p" version doesn't guarantee that it's *not*
running on OpenBSD: Portable builds and runs fine on OpenBSD too (in fact, it's
the only supported way to run current OpenSSH on older OpenBSD releases).
