The trouble with that approach is that the remote host could have a login banner. Our hosts do and it's about 15 lines of lawyer language. But every now and then we encounter a host without the approved message or with an older version of the message. Then there could be a /etc/motd. Everybody had to give me an account on any company box so that I could verify security issues. But I wound up with 6 different prompts. Stuff like this is what you encounter when you are automating access to hundreds of systems. The flying blind approach works in the face of these issues.
