Config namespace: config.ssh The settings within config.ssh relate to configuring how Vagrant will access your machine over SSH. As with most Vagrant settings, the defaults are typically fine, but you can fine tune whatever you would like. The sshconfig file is used to control how secure shell, better known as the ssh terminal command, operates on your system. The sshconfig file is organized by hosts. Each host contains specific settings for that host. Wildcards like. can be used to match multiple hostnames with a single declaration. Most Linux servers offer an SSH login via Port 22 for remote administration purposes. This port is a well-known port, therefore, it is often attacked by brute force attacks. Fail2ban is a software that scans log files for brute force login attempts in real-time and bans the attackers with firewalld or iptables.

This page indicates how to install/use Debian in your local language.

Configuration

Programs that support local technology use environment variables to determine the conventions to use for date and time formatting, character display, currency display and codepage selection.

The following environment variables affect locale related behaviour of the system:

Warning!

Using LC_ALL is strongly discouraged as it overrides everything. Please use it only when testing and never set it in a startup file.

Normally how it works is you set LANG to your preferred locale. If there are specific aspects of your primary locale that you don't like (e.g. date formats), then you set the specific variables to override those features only. End users should never set LC_ALL, at least not permanently. LC_ALL is reserved for programs or situations where you need to enforce a specific locale (usually 'C') on a temporary basis. One example of this would be reporting error messages on an English-speaking mailing list; you can use LC_ALL=C your command to ensure that the errors are in English, and follow all the POSIX norms.

Standard

Get root and type dpkg-reconfigure locales and select the locale(s) you want to generate. At the end, you'll be asked which one should be the default. If you have users who access the system through ssh, it is recommended that you choose None as your default locale.

This changes /etc/default/locale and /etc/locale.gen (in older versions of Debian, also /etc/environment). If you chose a default locale other than None above, it will be in /etc/default/locale and will override the LANG variable supplied by ssh. This is highly inconvenient.

If you've upgraded to Lenny from an older version of Debian and have leftover LANG=... content in /etc/environment, you should comment it out (type editor /etc/environment and put a # character in front of the line, and then save it).

Now, optionally, edit /etc/profile as follows:

• Run locale -a to get a list of the locale names suitable for use in environment variables. Note that the spellings are different from the ones presented in the dpkg-reconfigure list.

• Add a line like this to your /etc/profile file:

  where de_DE.iso88591 is the locale you want to use as a default. If you have tcsh or csh users, create a file named /etc/csh/login.d/lang with the following content:

  This will only set LANG if it was not previously defined, for example by ssh. Unfortunately, this won't affect users who login with xdm, gdm, etc.

SSH

SSH Server

If you've upgraded from a very old version of Debian (before Etch), your sshd_config(5) may not contain the correct AcceptEnv directive to let the ssh client pass locale variables. Edit your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and make sure it contains this line:

Then restart the ssh service to make it take effect. Also, you should log out of your current ssh connection and log back in. Already-running programs will not be affected.

Ssh Settings Linux

SSH Client

If you've upgraded from a very old version of Debian (before Etch), your ssh_config(5) may not contain the correct SendEnv directive to let the ssh client pass locale variables. Edit your /etc/ssh/ssh_config file and make sure it contains this line:

Ssh Client Config

You should log out current ssh connection and log back in. Already-running session will not be affected.

GDM

In GDM login screen, pick a proper locale from the list of installed locales by clicking the locale button in the bottom of the screen.

Alternatively, edit ~/.dmrc. For example, to set the user-wide locale to en_DK.utf8, ~/.dmrc could be something like this:

Manually

• Edit the file /etc/locale.gen and add your locale settings (one set per line), e.g.:

  The supported locales are listed in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.

• Run the command locale-gen

• Run the command locale -a to verify the list of available locales; note that the spellings change.

• If you've upgraded to Lenny and you have leftover LANG=... content in /etc/environment, you should comment it out.

• To use the new settings with your programs, log out and back in.

First day of week

You might want to use the default en_US locale because some software doesn't play nice when locale's set to something else, but you want to have the first day of the week set to Monday, not to Sunday, like it's defined in en_US. To get this desired behaviour you can add the following to /etc/default/locale:

Measuring units and paper size

You might also want to change the measuring units and the paper size if you're from Europe:
