OpenSSH Banners

I've got numerious installations of HP's Secure Shell (T1471AA A.03.71.000) running on 11.00, 11.11, and 11.23 systems. Today I noticed that try as I might I can not get the 11.23 installation to display a banner message on client connections. The sshd_config file is common on 11.11 all of my systems and it's only the 11.23 systems that won't display a banner. Any ideas?????

Re: OpenSSH Banners

Make sure you use protocol 2 on this system. The banner file is only supported for protocol version 2.
Every problem has at least one solution. Only some solutions are harder to find.

Re: OpenSSH Banners

Have you restarted sshd after changing the sshd_config file?

Make sure the line:

Banner /path/to/bannerfile

is not commented out in your /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config file and that /path/to/bannerfile is correct, banerfile exists and is not empty.

Restart Secure Shell:

# /sbin/init.d/secsh stop
# /sbin/init.d/secsh start
