This is what i did and it worked sharing for others.

Create a file called /etc/ssh/sshd-banner.

Paste the customized banner message in it.
For example:
Quote:
"This Machine is for the exclusive use of XYZ organization and Unauthorized access or breach of these terms may result in termination of your authorization and/or criminal penalties."
edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config with following entry

Banner /etc/ssh/sshd-banner


Restart sshd service using.

Quote:
#service sshd restart
To validate the changes:
Try to login to the server using putty.
put username and press enter .
You should get banner displaying text under /etc/ssh/sshd-banner file.

For example:

Quote:
login as: root
