[Bug 1717] New: ssh should write its name when outputting messages
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1717
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.
