Using dropbear 0.50 (I know there's a more recent, but didn't see any
changelog notes about this issue), if I try to use dbclient to connect to
a host that has a long banner (1553 chars), I get the following error:
dbclient: connection to u...@host:22 exited: string too long
On this particular host, I do not have access to change the banner.
However on a different machine that I do have access to, I did change its
banner and confirmed that indeed when using the longer one, dbclient gives
the 'string too long' error and aborts.
Are there any workarounds for this?
Thanks,
Scott
