Digital SSH ASCII Art Show shell script by Randolf Richardson
from Beautiful British Columbia, Canada, on November 20, 2012;
this software is free, and I hereby release it under the same
licensing terms that NetBSD 6 depends on. Full information

This never-ending automatic Digital SSH +--[ RSA 2048]----+
ASCII Art Show features a new portrait | .E*=+ |
every second (one such portrait is shown | o+o . |
to the right-hand side of this text). | + . . |
| o * |
This script depends on the version of | . * S |
ssh-keygen that comes with NetBSD 6.0, | . + . . |
although it should function normally on | .. . . |
other flavours of Unix and distributions | .oo . |
of Linux with new enough versions of the | oo.. |
same ssh-keygen software. +-----------------+
I first noticed the SSH key generation's ASCII art output when
starting "sshd" for the first time (NetBSD generates new keys
automatically), and so I investigated and discovered that this
output is simply a built-in feature of ssh-keygen. I was
motivated by my keen interest in ASCII art to write a simple
one-line script to generate a continuous SSH ASCII art show
that could be easily be shared with the world, starting with
the #NetBSD and ##BSD channels on Freenode.Net's IRC network.
Current version: ssh-ascii-art-show.sh v1.00
The major version is increased when new features are added. Minor versions are increased when new features are enhanced or largely significant bugs are fixed. The letter at the end of the version number is increased when minor changes are made to the code or low-impact bugs are fixed.
