No.  sshd is not the `remote shell daemon'.  The remote shell daemon
the man page speaks of runs on port 514 and is named either `rshd'
or `remshd'.  Bash behaves exactly as documented.

I don't think you looked up the acrimonious discussion that preceded
my turning off the special handling of SSH_CLIENT and SSH2_CLIENT.  I
won't be making that the default again.
