Check Text (C-269268r1050150_chk)
Verify the SSH daemon provides users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred with the following command:
$ sshd -T | grep printlastlog
printlastlog yes
If the value is returned as "no", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-73200r1048181_fix)
Configure the SSH daemon to provide users with feedback on when account accesses last occurred.
Add the following line to "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", or uncomment the line and set the value to "yes":
PrintLastLog yes
Alternatively, add the setting to an include file if the line "Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf" is found at the top of the "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" file:
$ echo 'PrintLastLog yes' > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/40-lastlog.conf
Restart the SSH daemon for the settings to take effect:
$ systemctl restart sshd.service
