[ale] openssh server /etc/issue.net format question

[agrieser at gmail.com (Andrew Grieser)]

Hey all,

I ran into an issue with the formatting of /etc/issue.net by openssh server when upgrading from Debian Etch to Lenny. The issue is that every backslash gets duplicated, so a single backslash turns into two, or two into four etc, in between /etc/issue.net and the connecting client. Needless to say this reaks havock on ascii art.

I also installed openssh server on Ubuntu and found it has the same problem. Is there a way to fix this? Some sort of backslash escape?
