Login fail message
Hey Guys,
I just stumbled upon one thing. When I login to SuSE9.3 Pro thru the terminal screen and if these was an unsuccesful login, it gives a meesage giving the time of the last unsuccessful login. This phenomena was there from the early Sco Unix days. But now FC/RHEL don't have it turned ON. I just want to know how can we turn it ON in FC/RHEL or for that matter Unix or any other NIX flavour. I don't remember but think I was taught/read it somewhere. But don't seem to recollect. I think it is not related with the distribution. So, I think it is safe to post in the room. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks, rc

This error can popup due to various problem, try to start or restart sshd server
Code:
/etc/init.d/sshd start or /etc/init.d/sshd restart or /sbin/init.d/sshd start If you have sshd running and root is not allowed to loging then open the file: Open file /etc/sshd.config and look for line Code:
PermitRootLogin no Code:
PermitRootLogin yes Don't even think of using telnet or rservices they are insecure. Btw you posted this to shell scripting... make sure next time you post it to Linix so you will get quick reply

Thank you monk,
I think you got my question wrongly. Anyway, No problem. I want to say that my problem is not related to ssh. What my question was that I get a message after I successfully logged in thru the console. This message just indicates the Last Successful and Unsuccessful login logs. I mean, when I login, I get a message which tells me when did I last have a successful and an unsuccessful login. This kind of message helps in keeping track of deliberate attempts of other users who try to guess your password and try to login. What I wanted to know is how to enable and or disable this message flashing. If suppose I want it on FC/RHEL distribution, what and which file shall I enable?. Do you get me now. Thanks for the reply and I appreciate it. rc

Okay this can be enable or disable in your /etc/pam.d/login file by adding following line to it:
Code:
# Prints the last login info upon succesful login session optional pam_lastlog.so
