This is a more general Unix question. We've got a bunch of somewhat
older FreeBSD boxes in a lab at work (most are running 5.4), and when I
SSH to them with a username, as in
ssh mhicks at hostname
the prompt I get back just says "Password: ". However, if I connect to
a Solaris box in our lab, the prompt comes back as "mhicks at hostname's
password: ".
The prompt also shows up in that manner if I have an entry in my
~/.ssh/config file like
Host hostname
User mhicks
I want the longer prompt to show up since we use a couple of different
logins on our various hosts, and I want a hint at which password I
should be typing in.
Does anyone know how to get these FreeBSD hosts to act like the others?
Er, well, without going through the process of upgrading lots and lots
of systems?
