    1. Edit the sshd_config file to activate the banner.
    Code:
    nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    > Find #Banner (at the bottom)

    Change to:

    > Banner /etc/myAwesomeBanner

    2. Create the banner:
    Code:
    nano /etc/myAwesomeBanner
    Add what you want to your banner! (see options below)

    3. Logout or reboot to see the changes.

    Have fun!

    Nice though will/may conflict with MOTD that Centmin Mod by default uses too.

    I haven't had any conflicts yet with my server, though I guess every one's setup is different.

    I have the root user disabled and I use another user to administer it, but with it I do not receive the initial message (the one that shows if there are updates, last login, etc) when I connect to the ssh that I received with the root user.

    Is it possible to add it to other users as well?

    Right now it's only for the root user as Centmin Mod expects the actual root user is managing the server so some of the update/alert notifications are using routines which require root user privileges which a non-root user wouldn't have on initial login.
