debug output when ssh'ing a remote host

[Courtin Bert]

Hi list,

I'm not sure whether this (see below) is a "bug" or a feature but as I cannot find any information on this neither in the INSTALL file nor via ./configure --help or somewhere else, I would like to ask you whether there is an answer to my question.

Thanx a lot & kind regards - have a nice day,
B. Courtin


Question:
---------
I lately updatet from OpenSSH 3.0.1p1 to OpenSSH 3.3p1 by compiling the sources on my solaris 2.8 box with gcc. Everything works fine exept one thing that sort of annoys me: When ssh'ing (or scp'ing) a host I get debug output even when I haven't specified the "-v" option (see below). What causes this behaviour resp. how can I stop ssh behave this way. Recompile with some other config option?  (btw: I used "./configure --prefix=/opt/OpenSSH --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh")

I appreciate your feedback.
