String too long when connecting to SunOS ssh daemon

[Hans Harder]

I am getting a 'String too long' error whenever I try to connect to a SunOS
server with dbclient

In order to find out how much it is to long, I adapted 1 line in buffer.c
Now I get the message:"exited:  String too long (2056 > 1400)"

That is a lot larger than 1400...
Any concerns before I increase the MAX_STRING_LEN to 2100 ?
