  • Change Login Request For Password??

    From NotReal@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 22 16:53:30 2022
    On my server with SSH, when a user logs in and enters a user name, the
    response is

    [email protected]�s password:

    Is it possible to customize the response after �@�? At the very
    least, can it be configured to show

    user_name@server_name

    I would prefer that the IP address is not in the response.

    I have looked at the man pages, but if I missed that section, my
    apologies. I did find how to add a banner, but not how to change the
    actual query for the password.

    I don't think that has anything to do with ssh, but is the system's
    password prompt.
    for me when logging in with ssh, I just get Password:

    Interesting. I had never considered that. You have given me another possibility to consider and look into. Thanks.

    After doing some research with your comment in mind because it was a
    good thought, I made some interesting discoveries. It turns out that
    that ssh is only echoing back what I put in. If I use "ssh -l username xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" to login on anther server, I received "[email protected]'s password:". On the other hand, if I used
    "ssh -l username hostname", I received "username@hostame's password:"
    It also appears to be true if I use Putty from a Windows PC

    That is fine with me, so I guess I am all set. I was only concerned
    that my server was revealing information to the outside world about my
    internal network. Thanks for your help.

    As I said, I get
    Password:
    nomatter what I enter on the ssh line

    You do not say what operating system you are using. Windows, Mac,
    Linux,.... on the two machines.

    My main servers are Slackware but I also have a Pi with Raspbian for a
    honeypot along with various window versions as desktops. I tried
    different combinations and the results were all the same as I described
    in my last post.
