tightening sshd, removing server identification banner

[Özgür Kazancci]

Hello David,

If you're sure you uncommented these lines,
#VersionAddendum none
#Banner none

and restarted the sshd, then there is no much else left -imho-. A 
complete removal of SSHD banner (if that's what you're trying to do) 
requires a manual edit of OpenSSH(d) files&complete complication of it 
from scratch.

Best,
Özgür.
