    I was afraid of that.  I guess I'll see if the sunfreesoftware.com guys are
    willing to update the port to include better version info or our admins will
    start rolling their own OpenSSH (which I assume would have a better
    banner?).
    
    Thanks,
    Owen

    Do you mean that sunfreesoftware.com is distributing a version of
    OpenSSH with this weird banner ?
    
    
    You may be able to fix that by adding this signature to backport.inc.
