ASCII Art for your SSH logins

Here is a nice way to spice up your SSH logins.
To create a cool ASCII art banner for your server, first start off by going here:

http://www.network-science.de/ascii/

Type your server name into the text field. On the font choice, select “_all fonts with your text_”. Click OK to generate the ASCII art. Copy the one you like into the clipboard.

On your server, paste this into the file /etc/banner

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the “Banner” directive to
“Banner /etc/banner”

Restart SSH
