ssh problem
 

Hi,
Can it be possible to display some messages whenever any user ssh to my computer?? i mean like in redhat linux there is issue.net. so is there any thing for ssh connections also?

Other problem is how can i record users sshing to me in any log file?

This should already be logged in /var/log/auth.log

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
PrintMotd yes

hi haertig,
I search whole system but unable to find any auth.log on my RHEL system. my ls /var/log output is

Hi RHELL,
I did In /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
PrintMotd yes
but that only displays Last Login information. how can my message must be displayed whenever anyone ssh to me?? and where can i add that message?

Logging is configurable. I thought auth.log was somewhat universal, but obviously I was wrong. In my /etc/syslog.conf file I have a line like this: This is what directs authorization-type messages to that file I mentioned. You may have something similar. Although on RHEL your syslog configuration file may be somewhere else than /etc/syslog.conf

You could also just grep in /var/log and try to brute force find the correct logfile. Try:

You may also have ssh messages logged into some subdirectory under /var/log. For example, my samba messages are logged into /var/log/samba/log.* You'll just have to manually snoop around a little to find what you're looking for. I'm not familiar with the default logging structure of RHEL.

Thanks all
i got the file under /var/log/secure but what abt message to display for users connecting thru' ssh to me?

Try putting some text in /etc/motd. This should be displayed each time you login.
