How does the ssh gets the login prompt?

As I understand it uses the PAM (plug-gable authentication module) for authentication but I really do not know the flow of getting the login prompt once we fire 'ssh hostname' from client to ssh server. Please provide some info to understand it better. Thanks!

yes, please let me know the what are login prompt strings.. thanks!
Well, these strings are hardcoded into the ssh server and client. You need to test it visually or look into source code.
