HI, Each time I ssh with a putty client from windows to Linux Fedora 20, I get the following messages in the /var/log/messages file: sshd[772]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user xxx by (uid=yyy)
Is there a way to prevent this messages ?
Regards, Kevin

Try editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. set "LogLevel" to "QUIET", "FATAL" or "ERROR" (default is "INFO") and restart sshd via "systemctl restart sshd.service" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick" - - themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." - - -- Winston Churchill - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, Thanks. I checked all three options Rick suggested and none of them worked. Does anybody know about a solution which works ?

Hey Kevin,
I'm curious - why? I've found these messages to be very useful when troubleshooting or auditing remote connection attempts. If you're looking at the logs and only want to see messages from a specific service, you can simply filter based on your needs at the time, ie `journalctl --since today --unit NetworkManager`.

Hi,
I'm curious - why?
The reason is quite simple: I am a kernel developer and sometimes ssh into my machine in several ssh sessions, many times during work sessions I monitor the kernel log by tail -f /var/log/messages, and any clutter of text simply distracts me and is not needed as I am working in an isolated LAN in a LAB, there is no outside access and no risk of penetration. I am sure there is a way to avoid this messages.
Any ideas anyone?
regards, Kevin

Please don't top post - it is confusing to read posts and replies out of order.
Instead of `tail -f /var/log/messages` use `journalctl -kf`. "-k" filters to only kernel messages. If you want to see more, add more to the filter.

Try editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. set "LogLevel" to "QUIET", "FATAL" or "ERROR" (default is "INFO") and restart sshd via "systemctl

Also the fact that you get the same useless message for cron scripts as for an outside login makes the message utterly useless. There are so many messages for trivial and idiotic reasons that you couldn't detect a useful one in the flood.
