While we are on the topic of ssh, why do we print out the version
string of the OS as banner when we connect? i.e.

On NetBSD -current:

[bruno@leviathan.lucifer.at]$telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 22
Trying 208.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.2 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20020422

I don't want people to know the OS/version only from the sshd banner?
Why you may ask...well recently there have been a string of exploits
(crc32 bug) which has been exploited with x2. Each day, I get around
50+ - 100+ probes for the sshd banner.=20

However on OpenBSD:

[bruno@leviathan.lucifer.at]$telnet mail.open-systems.org 22
Trying 24.84.17.242...
Connected to mail.open-systems.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.0.2

Is there a reason on why this should not be similar to OpenSSH -core?

Kind regards,

    -Bruno
