Hi,

Just feel curiously.
I am using sun SSH 1.0.1 and 1.1 on different machines,
and get different password promts as follows.
------------------------------------
root> ssh -V
SSH Version Sun_SSH_1.0.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.

root>ssh 10.193.106.90
root at 10.193.106.90's Password:
------------------------------------
root> ssh -V
Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090700f

root>ssh 10.193.114.90
Password:
-----------------------------------

The official ssh has two options, PasswordPromptHost and PasswordPromptLogin
to 
specify whether to include the remote host name and user id in the password
prompt.

Seems that openSSH doesn't have the similar options.
So why 1.0.1 and 1.1 show different prompts and how to control the prompt?

Thanks,
