Set Banner in Linux when Login


To add a warning banner to SSH, create a banner first:
Step 1: cd /etc/ssh/

Step 2: ssh-banner

Step 3:  Type in the Warning message you want such as the one below, then
              save the file.


                       ************************************************
                                           Murugayen Banner
                                                     
                       ************************************************

Step 4 :   After creating the banner file, edit the ssh configuration file

                                     $ vi sshd_config

Step 5:    Look for the part below on sshd_config

                           # no default banner path
                           
                           #Banner /path/banner file

Step 6:     And change it to

                        # no default banner path
           
                        Banner /etc/ssh/ssh-banner

                      Note:           Save the file then restart SSH

Step 7:    /etc/init.d/ssh restart

                       Whoo next time you login you should see something like the  screenshot below.
