Hi, when I ssh into Gentoo Linux from a FreeBSD host, the random art of the host keys fingerprint shows up twice, once before I enter the password and once after that. Here's a shortened typescript.
user@freebsdhost ~ % ssh gentoohost^M Host key fingerprint is 80:4d:29:6f:35:22:ca:77:c7:81:56:a6:98:f3:b1:c9^M +--[ECDSA 256]---+^M | .+o |^M | o*=o+ |^M | . .===+ o |^M | o .++=o |^M | . oE.S |^M | |^M | |^M | |^M | |^M +-----------------+^M ^M^M user@gentoohost's password: ^M Host key fingerprint is 80:4d:29:6f:35:22:ca:77:c7:81:56:a6:98:f3:b1:c9 +--[ECDSA 256]---+ | .+o | | o*=o+ | | . .===+ o | | o .++=o | | . oE.S | | | | | | | | | +-----------------+ ^M user@gentoohost ~ % ^M Notice that the second time there miss the carriage returns what makes the output look really messy, and the picture can't be recognised. What is going on here?
