Re: SSHD Banners and rsync

on solaris you can disable the banner within the >sshd_config and this
does not suppress the banner in interactive sessions [...]

I should have mentioned that the servers in question run Linux. For
ssh logins the banner is only displayed if it is enabled in
sshd_config.

For the time being I have worked around it by writing an ssh wrapper
that redirects stderr to /dev/null and specifying the wrapper program
in the rsync command line. This works, but has the unforunate
side-effect of hiding any legitimate ssh error messages :(
