    Hi,

    I fully agree about warning banners when a person uses ssh to
    interactively login to a host. But I access a linux box,
    hostGottaWarn, which prints out a warning banner when all it will do
    is execute a command. For example:
            ssh hostGottaWarn someCommand

    does not just output the results from someCommand, but a "you must be
    authorized ..." message as well.

    I use ssh to invoke executables on other hosts and process the
    results. The results processor is not expecting a extraneous text.

    Is there any way to stop or throwaway the warning banner from hostGottaWarn?

    thanks!

    mark
