[Bug 425346] [NEW] Banner displays two \

[bear24rw]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openssh-server

In the package openssh-server the banner displays two \ instead of one
for example if i have the banner

\                 \
\  Welcome  \
\                  \

it is currently displayed

\\                 \\
\\  Welcome  \\
\\                  \\

To fix this:

sshconnect2.c

Line 417

strnvis(msg, raw, len * 4 + 1, VIS_SAFE|VIS_OCTAL);

should be

strnvis(msg, raw, len * 4 + 1, VIS_SAFE|VIS_OCTAL|VIS_NOSLASH);
