similar to: ssh parameter to quell banner in e.g. CVS extssh

Hi, I would like to add a small section about "Banners" to "Securing OpenSSH" and then link it to the "Banner Files". Any objections ? or is this a task for the author ? Kind regards Mats Ref.: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/SecuringSSH http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/BannerFiles

i set up a print server using samba and cups and it seems to be working fine but in my environment it is vital for each printjob to have a banner with netbios name on it. eg i have 700 public computers and 4 printers so i need each computer to print a banner with the hostname to distinguish who prints what. i tried to set it up on the client side but it doesnt seem to be working. any help would be

i want to be able to suppress the banner from the client side (ssh/slogin/scp/sftp) but i don't see a way to do it cleanly. for example, if there were a -B flag that suppressed the banner that would be alright. i did try -q, but that suppresses all stderr, which is unacceptable since i do want to see the error output when ssh fails to know why it failed. another idea would be to have -q

I've had this problem as long as I've been using samba: every time anyone prints from a PC they get a banner page labeling them 'nobody.' Now, I realize this has to do with the guest account being 'nobody,' and the server is passing that name to the printer. It can get very frustrating, though, when lots of folks use the same printer and all of the jobs have the same name

Hi. It would be of utmost utility if there were a way to cause the sshd "banner" configuration setting to only print the banner in certain circumstances. What I'm actually after is avoiding printing out the banner for non-interactive sessions, so that if I run "ssh somehost ls" I don't get the login banner, but if I just type "ssh somehost" I do (at

I am running Openssh 4.4p1 on a Solaris 9 server. I would like the accting service account to be able to run accounting scripts from a central server without the standard pre-login banner. At the end of the sshd_config file I have the following, where /etc/nobanner is an empty file: Banner /etc/issue Match User accting Banner /etc/nobanner When an attempt is made to restart sshd, the

Hi everyone, I have been googling quite a bit and going through the samba documentation looking for something like a banner for a share and nothing came up. I need to setup a public share on a server that is currently running with server security, so I addedd the nobody account to the smbpasswd with null password, but I want to set a banner on the share that let people know this. Is this

In my setup I'm running Samba 3.0.23d-19.2 and CUPS 1.2.7-12.1. Printing from a windows-client works fine, until I instruct CUPS to add a banner-page. The banner-page then is the only thing that gets printed. Doing the same from Linux everything works fine. I get my job including a banner-page. The Windows-printjob is passed raw from Samba to CUPS... Anyone has an idea? Best, Johannes

Hi, I am using OpenSSH 3.6.2. Banner printed to stderr. There are also some errors that can discovered only when checking stderr output (even when sftp return status is 0). I have script which using sftp in batch mode to perform some actions. When there is a banner in use, I have no way to detect the errors correctly. Please advise. Alexander. __________________________________________________

A user at a Windows PC uses our SSH client software (Anzio) to access a Linux sshd. User would like the banner from the server to display BEFORE entering a login name. According to the SSH spec, this should be allowed. But the OpenSSH source seems to have specifically prevented this. Is there a good reason for this?

Hello, The banner message displayed on the screen contain octal values instead of korean chars. Prior to ssh 5.1 the banner message would display the charaters properly. I understand that starting from 5.1 the message is passed through strnvis() function. I looked into documentation on strnvis and found that it does not support multibyte chars and doesnt work well with international chars.

Hi all. I'd like to know if someone knows how to implement a banner to be prompted just after a connection to a server is initialized. It's necessary doing that to warm who is trying to access the server just for security. Regards, Glauco
