Does anyone have a bash script that will email or notify someone in the case of a successful login to a ssh server? I want to be notified if anyone logs into my personal box.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 running xfce
Warning: according to the comments, this does not work if the user creates a file called
~/.ssh/rc.*
Modify or create /etc/ssh/sshrc with the following contents:
ip=`echo $SSH_CONNECTION | cut -d " " -f 1`
logger -t ssh-wrapper $USER login from $ip
echo "User $USER just logged in from $ip" | sendemail -q -u "SSH Login" -f "Originator <[email protected]>" -t "Your Name <[email protected]>" -s smtp.server.com &
This will effectively notify you by email anytime someone logs in through SSH, and the login will be logged in the syslog.
Note: You'll need the sendemailpackage (sudo apt-get install sendemail) for the email notification to work.
Note: works with port forwarding, but with -N option not.
