Check Text (C-234881r991589_chk)
Verify all remote connections via SSH to the SUSE operating system display feedback on when account accesses last occurred.
Check that "PrintLastLog" keyword in the sshd daemon configuration file is used and set to "yes" with the following command:
> sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -dd 2>&1 | awk '/filename/ {print $4}' | tr -d '\r' | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs sudo grep -iH '^\s*printlastlog'
PrintLastLog yes
If the "PrintLastLog" keyword is set to "no", is missing, or is commented out, this is a finding.
