I am using OpenSSH_9.9p1 on the host machine and OpenSSH_9.7p1 on the
VM.

Here's an example of the prompt:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ssh aadcg <at> localhost -p 2222
(aadcg <at> localhost) Password for aadcg <at> freebsd:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The prompt above differs from the usual prompt when connecting to
another host.  It's the first time I came across a prompt of the form
"(user <at> host) Password for user <at> host:".

I remind you that I am running a VM with qemu where I'm passing "-net
user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22".  This maps the localhost port 2222 to port
22 on the VM, so that I can connect to the VM via "ssh user <at> host -p
2222".  Let me know if you understood the setup.

Thank you again.
