ssh: suppress Banners of Jumphosts


Gday Everyone,

i am using ssh with jumphost(s).

ssh -J zone1-jumphost zone2-target

or .ssh/config:

HOST zone1-* zone2-* !zone1-jumphost
   ProxyJump zone1-jumphost

All servers (jumphost(s) and target) are configured to print out an issue message like "Authorized access only!". I can suppress the target servers message with the option '-q'.

But how can i suppress the message created by the jumphost(s)?


Solution

  • You can create an empty file on the target server in your users home directory called ~/.hushlogin and it will stop the message of the day from displaying.

    Just connect and run touch ~/.hushlogin and the next time you log in it should be suppressed.
