I have been looking forward to the full PAM integration into OpenSSH for some
time.  I have been downloading many of the SNAP shots and testing them out on
Solaris 5.8 and Solaris 5.9, and have been impressed with the improvements of late.

One thing that I have noticed, however, is that when utilizing PAM ->
UsePAM=Yes, that the password prompt reads   

Password:

Now, I realize that this is more a PAM functionality, than anything to do with
OpenSSH, however, I was curious to know whether or not something could be done
to make PAM's password prompt read more like the known and liked OpenSSH
password prompt   

User at System's Password:


I'm probably just doing a bit of wishfull thinking, however, it never hurts to
ask, does it?

Thanks,

Larry
