I don't mind the monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand output on regular connections.
For me it looks something like this with a server not participating in the
monkey sphere:
ms: processing host: chavez.mayfirst.org
ms: - key not found.
And like this for a server participating:
ms: processing host: george.riseup.net
ms: primary key found: 7353A74E3B757F8C
ms: * acceptable key found.
ms: known_hosts file updated.
However, I have some batch scripts that run ssh that also provide output, so the monkeysphere output clutters things up.
I would really like to either have a -q/--quiet option, or, preferable for me
at least, would be for silent output to be the default and have a -v/--verbose
option to get the output. Or - maybe these should be environmental variables?
In any event - someway to suppress informational output would be a useful
improvement.
I'd be fine with silent mode as a default, with a more verbose mode
accessible to the user who desires it.
I'd prefer an environment variable (e.g. MONKEYSPHERE_VERBOSE or
MONKEYSPHERE_DEBUG) over a command-line (e.g. --verbose) option,
personally. It's more in keeping with the model we've used in general
so far.
