Description
Providing users with feedback on the last time they logged on via SSH facilitates user recognition and reporting of unauthorized account use.
ℹ️ Check
At the command line, run the following command to verify the running configuration of sshd:
# sshd -T|&grep -i PrintLastLog
Example result:
printlastlog yes
If "PrintLastLog" is not set to "yes", this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Navigate to and open:
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
Ensure the "PrintLastLog" line is uncommented and set to the following:
PrintLastLog yes
At the command line, run the following command:
# systemctl restart sshd.service
