+SSH-2 servers can provide a message for clients to display to the

+pre-authentication \q{\i{banner}}. Typically this is used to provide
+information about the server and legal notices.

+By default, PuTTY displays this message before prompting for a

+prompting for a login name, due to the nature of the protocol design).
+By unchecking this option, display of the banner can be suppressed
