SSH welcome message (motd) configuration


October 9th, 2007

It’s always better to get your web server secure in all aspects, for this we suggest you to add a warning message so whenever any person logs in the server, the message is viewable to him.

To implement this on your dedicated server, you need to edit the motd file with the command nano /etc/motd , then you can enter your message within the file and save it.

A simple warning text that you can add in motd file:

This server belongs to “Some web hosting company”. Unauthorized access to this web server is fully investigated as your IP and login information have been recorded and an email is sent to our System Administrator.

Isn’t it simple!
