Change SSH Welcome Message and Cleanup Files

This step allows you to change the SSH welcome message to obtain information about the system and to cleanup some files.

• Connect in SSH with root user and your password.

• In root folder create a new folder named speeder_pad by typing this command:

  mkdir /root/speeder_pad
  

• Download this files pack and unzip it: Speeder Pad Files

• Drag and drop all files from the pack to the /root/speeder_pad/ folder.

• Then enter this commands (one at a time):

  rm /etc/update-motd.d/00-header
  

  rm /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text
  

  rm /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news
  

  rm /etc/update-motd.d/60-unminimize
  

  cp /root/speeder_pad/00-banner /etc/update-motd.d/
  

  cp /root/speeder_pad/10-sysinfo /etc/update-motd.d/
  

  cp /root/speeder_pad/colors /etc/update-motd.d/
  

  chmod 755 /etc/update-motd.d/00-banner
  

  chmod 755 /etc/update-motd.d/10-sysinfo
  

  cp /root/speeder_pad/sshd_config /etc/ssh/
  

  cp /root/speeder_pad/cfgguard.sh /usr/sbin/
  

  service ssh restart
  

• You can now disconnect your SSH session and reconnect to see changes.
