One way that may work to supress the banner on the ssh client-side is to take advantage of the fact that the client sends the banner to stderr.
So a command like the following may work for you. ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2>/dev/null Some caveats: This will also supress any other information that is sent to stderr Some hosts may implement the 'banner' function differently so that the banner is not sent to stderr. Rick Blasiak [EMAIL PROTECTED]
