           Summary: ssh should write its name when outputting messages
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.3p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: vincent at vinc17.org


ssh outputs messages to the terminal after other processes have been
started on the server side. As ssh doesn't write its name and it isn't
the only process, it may be difficult to know where messages like that
come from.

For instance, I got 12 lines

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

after the prompt, while I wasn't using the remote machine. The ssh
binary contains such a message, so that I suppose it comes from it
(however I'm not sure as sshd contains it too). So, one should have:

ssh: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

or

sshd: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

if this comes from sshd.
