This is how you can display a message or warning in Linux when connecting via SSH.
You start off by editing the message you want to display,
|
1 |
vim /etc/issue.net |
Then specify the location in the ssh server config
|
1 2 |
echo "banner /etc/issue.net " >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/init.d/ssh restart |
When executing a SSH connection on the network to perform a task on your system you will be requested to answer “YES” to sharing a new certificate with that host, this can be painful when doing it for the first time. Especially if your connecting to numerous system with a for statement. So you can ignore the error by setting StrictHostKeyChecking to “no”, ie
|
1 |
ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" root@hostname |
Adding the splunk client service to chkconfig
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
sudo /etc/init.d/splunk stop sudo chown -R splunk:splunk /opt/splunkforwarder/ sudo /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk enable boot-start -user splunk sudo /etc/init.d/splunk start |
To determine is an account is disabled run
|
1 |
sudo cat /etc/shadow |
The hashed password field will begin with “!” if the account is disabled.
Run the following command to enable the account again.
|
1 |
sudo passwd -u username |
