Ah, yes. Forgot about that. Same thing we discussed and mentioned a while back 
with the machine running Irix. Thanks for the reminder! Will check if the 
login-greeting is possible to disable. Thanks!

Hmm... MobaSSH doesn't have a settings panel per se. Weird. I've mailed the 
MobaSSH authors about disabling the greeter screen. Will report back later.
