After updating openssh from 8.0p1-16 to 8.0p1-17, sftp no longer prints username when connected. This issue is believed to happen at client side.

# sftp root@localhost
root@localhost's password: 
Connected to root@localhost.              <<<<<=====

# sftp root@<rhel88>
Password: 
Connected to root@<rhel88>                <<<<<=====

=== RHEL8.8

# rpm -qa | grep openssh-clients
openssh-clients-8.0p1-17.el8_7.x86_64
# sftp root@localhost
Password: 
Connected to localhost.                   <<<<<=====

# sftp root@<rhel87>
root@<rhel87>'s password: 
Connected to <rhel87>                     <<<<<=====

I don't see any differences in OpenSSH between these 2 versions that could cause such an effect.
