Summary0000508: openssh now prints out an error message by default
DescriptionAs of openssh-8.7p1-45.el9.x86_64, ssh throws an error message on STDOUT every time a connection fails. It ignores '-q', and it points at a redhat address. This can't be right.
Steps To ReproduceMY_HOSTNAME ~# ssh
usage: ssh [-46AaCfGgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-B bind_interface]
           [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port]
           [-E log_file] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11]
           [-i identity_file] [-J [user@]host[:port]] [-L address]
           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
           [-Q query_option] [-R address] [-S ctl_path] [-W host:port]
           [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] destination [command]

Additional InformationThis appears to be in the binary:

MY_HOSTNAME ~# strings =ssh | grep rhel_ssh

Note that '-q' does not silence the extra text, and I haven't found anything in any man pages telling me how I'd turn it off.

That is caused this patch: https://git.almalinux.org/rpms/openssh/src/branch/c9/SOURCES/openssh-8.7p1-redhat-help.patch
