OpenSSH Server in Ubuntu


OpenSSH is a freely available version of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol family of tools for remotely controlling, or transferring files between, computers.

apt-get install openssh-server

sudo cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config.original
sudo chmod a-w /etc/ssh/sshd_config.original

The following are examples of configuration directives you may change:

To set your OpenSSH to listen on TCP port 2222 instead of the default TCP port 22, change the Port directive as such:

Port 22

To have sshd allow public key-based login credentials, simply add or modify the line:

PubkeyAuthentication yes

If the line is already present, then ensure it is not commented out.

To make your OpenSSH server display the contents of the /etc/issue.net file as a pre-login banner, simply add or modify the line:

Banner /etc/issue.net

In the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

sudo service ssh restart
