Waitaminute...  Where did that "Authorized users only" part come
from?

Nagios expects a single line of text, and SSH commands typically
don't display banners (in my experience).  Is that a banner that
appears from the remote host?  I wonder if that is confusing
things.  Can it be temporarily disabled to see if it changes the
behavior?
