| Summary | 0000508: openssh now prints out an error message by default | ||||
| Description | As 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 Reproduce | MY_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] You can find some explanations for typical errors at this link: https://red.ht/support_rhel_ssh | ||||
| Additional Information | This appears to be in the binary: MY_HOSTNAME ~# strings =ssh | grep rhel_ssh https://red.ht/support_rhel_ssh | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
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 |
|
|
The patch has been unpached. https://git.almalinux.org/rpms/openssh/pulls/2 https://git.almalinux.org/rpms/openssh/pulls/3 https://git.almalinux.org/rpms/openssh/pulls/4 |

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-93957 RedHat is apparently applying a workaround here (rather than just removing the patch, which I still think is inappropriate). I'd rather that Alma just removed the whole thing, but failing that, can we populate /etc/ssh/advanced_ssh_users as part of the rpm? |
