Hi,

You can use, # who -T |awk '{print $9}' will print hostname.

Hi Santhosh,

Instead of putting into /etc/issue, try to put in /etc/profile

----/etc/profile----
..................
..................
# Leave defaults in user environment.

trap 1 2 3
banner `hostname`

Save and quit. when you login next time, you will see the banner.

If you put the entry in /etc/profile the banner is display after you entre your username and passwd ..where as i want it to display the banner before that.

Thx

Hi Again,

Check /opt/ssh/etc/sshd-config for # no default banner path
#Banner /some/path

You can edit this and put your own. After doing any modification, remember to restart Secure shell daemon.

Hi Santosh,

In /etc/profile,

# Security message fro SSH login


if [ "$SSH_CLIENT" != "" ]
then
echo '$(hostname -a)
cat /etc/issue.ssh
fi
