Resolved Remove welcome message from SSH

[Gualter Fernandes]

Hi,

How can I remove the welcome message from the SSH?

 

[IgorG]

Make sure that following options in sshd config are commented or disabled:

# grep PrintMotd /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#PrintMotd yes

# grep Banner /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#Banner none

restart sshd service after that.
Also check content of file /etc/motd

Hi,

That way I will disable the motd fully.
I just want remove that message to add a normal motd /etc/motd

Hi Gualter Fernandes,

you might like the previous answer/solution, provided by @VNick :

@Dree, check this out:

[root@server ~] # cat /root/.plesk_banner
# This script is indirectly called by Bash on login shell startup.
# It outputs Plesk shell banner with login instructions.
# If you don't need it, you may comment out the following line.
/usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/ssh-banner || :

So, just comment out the line. Plesk won't restore the banner on updates.

None of these answers seem to be correct:

Current Plesk is adding a line to "/root/.bash_profile" which is what includes the /root/.plesk_banner file, so you'll want to delete that include and then delete the .plesk_banner file as well. Disabling the SSH motd wouldn't make any sense (that just hides the problem) and the system /etc/motd file is empty.
