Vulnerability discussion

Providing users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred facilitates user recognition and reporting of unauthorized account use.

Check content

Determine if the system displays the date and time of the last successful login upon logging in. This can be accomplished by logging into the system and verifying whether or not the necessary information is displayed. If the system does not provide this information upon login, this is a finding. Verify the SSH daemon is configured to display last login information. # cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -i PrintLastLog If PrintLastLog is disabled, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the system to display the date and time of the last successful login upon logging in. Consult OS documentation for the configuration procedure. Enable PrintLastLog in the SSH daemon. To enable PrintLastLog in the SSH daemon, remove any comment disabling this option from /etc/ssh/sshd_config. The line should look like: "PrintLastLog yes". Restart sshd. # kill -1

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
