Description: Set the verbosity level of ssh to quiet when
logging messages.


Affects: OpenSSH

Summary: Suppress all warning and diagnostic messages of ssh client of OpenSSH.

Symptoms: N/A

In order to suppress all warning and diagnostic messages of ssh, add
the following lines at the bottom of either the system-wide
configuration file (usually /etc/ssh/ssh_config or /etc/ssh_config) or
the user's configuration file (usually ~/.ssh/config):

Host *
     LogLevel QUIET

line suppresses all warning and diagnostic messages of ssh.

To find exactly the configuration files read by ssh, look at output
