Where to change the UNIX password prompt?

Hi guys,

I got these 3 servers: a, b and c which I ssh from a to b/c.

a:$ ssh userid@b
Password:

a:$ ssh userid@c
userid@c's password:

Notice that the password prompt is different (highlighted in bold) on both servers even though their SUN Solaris version the same, OpenSSH version also the same.

Can anyone advise me which file actually controls the UNIX password prompt?

Thanks in advance.

IFX_PCONNECT(3) 							 1							   IFX_PCONNECT(3)

ifx_pconnect - Open persistent Informix connection

SYNOPSIS
resource ifx_pconnect ([string $database], [string $userid], [string $password]) DESCRIPTION
ifx_pconnect(3) acts very much like ifx_connect(3) with two major differences. First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (ifx_close(3) will not close links established by ifx_pconnect(3)). This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'. PARAMETERS
All of the arguments are optional, and if they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in php.ini (ifx.default_host for the host (Informix libraries will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined), ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the password (none if not defined). o $database - The database name, as a string. o $userid - The username, as a string. o $password - The password, as a string. RETURN VALUES
Returns: valid Informix persistent link identifier on success, or FALSE on errors. SEE ALSO
