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

The first line provides a global default for all hosts and the second
line suppresses all warning and diagnostic messages of ssh.

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

$ ssh -v ""
