I have noticed that, beginning with the 5.1p1 release, ssh no longer interprets ansi escape sequences embeded in the /etc/banner or /etc/issue files. Was this deliberate, perhaps due to some security issue, or is this a bug that has crept into the code? I can't find anything in the changelog that would be related to this. I have verified that the 5.0p1 release and earlier do indeed interpret the ansi escape sequences properly. -- Thomas K.
