| Verify that OL 9 SSH daemon provides users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred with the following command: $ sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -dd 2>&1 | awk '/filename/ {print $4}' | tr -d '\r' | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs sudo grep -iH '^\s*printlastlog' PrintLastLog yes If the "PrintLastLog" keyword is set to "no", the returned line is commented out, or no output is returned, this is a finding. |

| Configure the SSH daemon to provide users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred. Add the following line to "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" or to a file in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config.d" or uncomment the line and set the value to "yes": PrintLastLog yes The SSH service must be restarted for changes to take effect: $ sudo systemctl restart sshd.service |
