The script makes sure that you are notified by email about every user login via SSH.
The script ssh-login-notification.sh only needs to be placed under /etc/profile.d/ so that it is executed every time the user logs on via SSH.
If not already installed, the dnsutils and mailutils packages are needed to resolve IP to FQDN and send emails. It is assumed that a working MTA like Exim is installed.
The script need to be customized. All that is required is to create a file with the name ssh-login-notification.conf.
Please configure the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
