ssh_tunnel_shell: Disable console message output

User Manager / Privileges
Description
Users with only the "User - System: SSH Tunneling" privilege get the ssh_tunnel_shell program as their shell. When connected, these users receive console wall(1) type messages such as login notices, which are not relevant to ssh tunneling.
If possible, these messages should be muted rather than displayed to the user.
It’s worse than that. If I’m looking at the right source, that binary does nothing but chatter at the poor user.
Also, nbytes is unititislized on the stack, and tested > 0 on first use. Sheer chance that it works.
This POS needs a rewrite.
- Target version changed from 48 to 2.5.0

- % Done changed from 0 to 100
Silenced all the output of ssh_tunnel_shell.
Looks way better now, let me know if I have missed something.
Steps:
- created a user.
- Assigned "User - System: SSH tunneling" as Privilege.
- Used putty to SSH.
- logged in by using the created user.
I did not see any notice or unexpected message.
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
I just upgraded to 2.5.0. I had regular users configured with the "User - System: SSH tunneling" permission, accessing a SQL server via SSH tunnel through the firewall. With this new version of pfSense, those same users can ONLY use the same SSH tunnel if they are configured as administrators. Otherwise, the tunnel does not work.
