@knc1: Heh, funny story: that's not dropbear's default behavior, the default settings are patched to print the Kindle's /etc/issue in my USBNetwork build... *inserts evil laugh here*. IIRC, there's a switch to disable it altogether. I can easily add it as a configurable option in the next release

.
EDIT: ... Which is exactly what you used in the patch linked in your thread, oops.

(Kind of forgot about it to tell the truth, I switched to OpenSSH on nearly all my devices, the dropbear/libtom regression on ARM that kills the performance of the auth kinda got on my nerve... ^^).
EDITē: Done. Look for the QUIET_DROPBEAR config flag in the next release (defaults unchanged).
