Removing SSH's welcome message (before login)
in [Debian]
|
Prev: a VNC client suitable to monitor 15 desktops in 1 screen, automatic reconnect. Exists?
Next: www.debian.org/security/ does not know about kernel update??

I made it very clear that restarting the sshd daemon does not break existing ssh client connections. Try to behave civilly towards people spending their time trying to help you. -- Jon Dowland

Had you read two of my previous messages instead of skimming through them, you would've known already it was a remote server. I was past the lock-out by the time you replied. Had *i* read your message carefully instead of skimming through it (i.e. yanking hair when it read "restart your remote sshd") i would've already known Restarting Sshd Won't Break Client Connections, instead of coming to that - rather obvious, yes - conclusion later. So maybe we both oughta read mail more carefully :) As stated, i did think of telling the second binary to use a second config, but stopped short of everything else that you (correctly and quite logically) pointed out: init sript, pid file, etc. My first plan was to use a cron job (as it seems more common) but how would scheduling the start of a binary that was being upgraded prevent problems? Anyway, this is academic since next time i'll know RSWBCC⢠;) As for the cosmetic change, well, it's a matter of opinion i guess. I dislike the fact sshd (of httpd or *d) announce themselves to the world like that unless strictly necessary. I'm all for open source software (duh), but i think it should keep its mouth obscurely shut when serving. (This would probably spawn a religious debate so let's leave it at that.) Thanks for your contributions, Jon, and i hope there's no hard feelings if (er, when) i sounded harsh.
