Lynis Test: SSH settings/tools

Question

When I run my Lynis I get the following:

[+] Shells
------------------------------------
  - Checking shells from /etc/shells
    Result: found 6 shells (valid shells: 6).
    - Session timeout settings/tools                          [ NONE ]

But I've set the ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax values. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

These settings you mention are related to SSH. On the shell itself (e.g. bash) you can also set timeout settings.

To see the specifics that Lynis is testing in this case, have a look at the lynis.log.
