https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1870

           Summary: Do not show VisualHostKey unless attached to a
                    terminal
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.5p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mail at joachim-breitner.de


Hi,

as discussed on http://bugs.debian.org/511120, the VisualHostKey
feature will cause visual host keys appear even in the output of
automated scripts, e.g. backup scripts, where there is little gain and
only inconvenience (or breakage).

A possible remedy could be to show the VisualHostKey only when attached
to a terminal, and otherwise not.

Thanks
Joachim
