Disable Welcome to Promox SSH Banner

[pablo808]

What is the correct way to disable the Welcome to Promox SSH Banner permanently?

I tried editing the /etc/issue file but the Welcome message came back.

I would like to hide the fact that there is a Promox node on the network.

Thanks.

which banner are you talking about?

/etc/issue should only be used for local logins (AFAIU) on ssh there isn't one? (or can you show a screenshot of what you mean?)

/etc/issue generation is triggered by the 'pvebanner' service and could be disabled by 'systemctl disable pvebanner'

I would like to hide the fact that there is a Promox node on the network.

well then you'd also have to mask of e.g. the 8006 port otherwise a simple port scan would reveal that.
and if you do that, you won't be able to connect there anymore?

Thanks. I'll take a look at disabling the pvebanner service.

I will install nginx on the pve node and redirect 8006 to 443, then use Basic Auth (.htaccess) to protect the Promox WebUI.

Ideally I want to access the Promox WebUI from a seperate host running ngnix but I am not able to come up with a working nginx config for that scenario.

Maybe this wiki article [1] can help you with configuring nginx.

Thanks. Yes, that's the first place I checked.

That config works perfectly on the same host but doesn't work on a seperate nginx host, even after I updated the proxy_pass IP.
