reassign 280609 openssh-client retitle 280609 ssh option -q suppresses various fatal error messages found 280609 openssh-client/1:5.1p1-5 thanks
Reassigning since ssh is now a metapackage and the real bug is in the client. See below concerning the retitle.

Not only this one, but also "Could not resolve hostname..." and "Permission denied". vin% ssh blah ssh: Could not resolve hostname blah: Name or service not known vin% ssh -q blah vin% ssh www.debian.org Warning: Permanently added 'www.debian.org,194.109.137.218' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Password: Password: Password: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). vin% ssh -q www.debian.org Password: Password: Password: vin% Also I wonder if "Connection to <host> closed by remote host." should be regarded as a fatal error. After this bug is fixed, if this message is regarded as a fatal error, then there should be an option to suppress such messages after the fork when the option -f is used, as getting messages in the terminal from *background* processes can be annoying (FYI, in my case, I start "ssh -fMN <host>" automatically via a wrapper when the master isn't running, so that a connection closed here isn't really a fatal error). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
