check_by_ssh banner bug?

[Millard, Matt]

We had to actually modify the source of check_by_ssh to ignore anything
in the banner.  We wrap our banner with a standard couple of lines so it
wasn't too difficult.

******************************** N O T I C E
*********************************
                     the rest of the banner goes here
************************************************************************
****** 

Attached is the patch that we used with the hardcoded banner lines in it
if it will help you out.  It's not too elegant, but it got the job done
for us.

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_by_ssh banner bug?

I've searched the archives, and I found that someone asked on
2004-09-17 and again on 2004-09-23 if there is a fix for check_by_ssh
not working if there is a banner set.

I didn't however see any answer whatsoever.

So I'd like to know if anyone knows any workarounds to
removing/disabling the sshd banner (since company policy will not allow
me to do so).  I tried multiple variations of clearing the screen, then
piping to the check command, but when I tried those, the plugin would
ust timeout.  The only way I got them to work was when I moved
/etc/issue to some alternate filename.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Aaron
