How to disable banner displayed on ssh connect
Is there away to disable a banner/motd when connecting to a server via ssh? The reason I want to do this is that I have a script that issues multiple SSH connection to remote machines so as to invoke a script on the remote machine. The script runs fine on the remote machine its just that I always get the banner back as stderr which is makes automation to detect a failure a bit more complicated. Anyone have any thoughts?

Unless you can delete the /etc/motd and /etc/issue* files on the remote machines, there is no way that I know of to do what you want to do.
