I've just migrated from using a Cygwin port of OpenSSH on Win2k
Advanced Server to Bitvise's WinSSHD (www.bitvise.com) and I've
noticed that the pre-login banner message is no longer being
displayed.

The message appeared when connecting to Cygwin/OpenSSH with PuTTY and
it still appears when I use the command line OpenSSH client or SSH's
Secure Shell client to connect to WinSSHD but not when I attempt to
connect WinSSHD with PuTTY.

So I was wondering if I'd just missed something somewhere or if this
was a known problem with Putty or WinSSHD and if it is whether there's
a work around.

Putty is v0.53b on Win98SE and Win2k, WinSSHD is v3.11 on Win2k
Advanced Server.

This isn't a known problem, no; perhaps you'd like to post an SSH
packet log so I can see whether the banner is actually being sent or
not. (If you type any passwords you'll need to edit them out of the
log before posting it, but since everything of interest happens
before the login phase that shouldn't be a problem.)

Appologies for the delay in replying (and for using a different account
to reply)

Reading my previous message I may have been a little unclear about which
banner message I mean.
Just to be clear the one I'm referring to appears after the login name
is specified but before the password is entered.

Anyway, I've noticed that if the username is specified as part of the
host name (i.e user...@foobar.com) then the banner is displayed in
putty, but if the username isn't specified and is manually entered after
connecting to the server, the banner isnt displayed.

This is the packet log for a connection where the username is not
specified (a packet log where it is specified is available if you want)

Hmmm. Yes, now I can see the problem: PuTTY accidentally drops the
USERAUTH_BANNER message if it comes in while it's waiting for user
name input. I never noticed this before because I tested against
OpenSSH, which doesn't _send_ the banner until after the first
(unauthenticated) login attempt.

I'll add this to the wish list as a known bug, and I might fix it
soon if I can find time. Sorry about that.

Not a problem... just wondering really if I'd screwed something up :)
Cheers for your help.
