LINUX HOWTO: Adding SSH login messages

This will display a message to those who connect to you ssh server before logging on.

Steps:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Open this file in terminal. Then find the line "#Banner /etc/issue.net" and remove comment so that it reads "Banner /etc/issue.net". Then save.

sudo nano /etc/issue.net
- Secondly open this file and enter your message in this file, then save. ASCII looks good here.


sudo service ssh restart
- Restart ssh, and then the message will be displayed to users.

Ubuntu, How to: Installing Numix theme and icon set

Numix is my favourite theme and icon set. If you want it follow these steps...

Enter in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme

For the icons, then...

sudo apt-get install numix-icon-theme

Open Tweak Tool, select the Numix themes in GTK+ and Icons to enable.

In Gnome, make sure the User Themes extention is enabled in the Tweak Tool. See:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/


Update: Also see "Numix Circle icons" from the software centre. Very pretty.
