Hi.
Some people have reported that login messages reported by sshd have
extra newlines. It looks like there are 2 causes of this:
a) some PAM modules like to return messages of "", which sshd
dutifully
appends a newline to and stores for later display.
b) display_loginmsg appends a newline too (I think this dates back to
before PAM supplied its own newlines).
The attached (trivial) patch fixes this: it auth-pam will not append
newlines, and loginmsg is displayed as a literal string (so any newlines
needed must be supplied by whatever is appending to loginmsg).

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
