Set LoginGracetime in SSH server config

Hi!

I would like to set the LoginGracetime setting in my SSH server configuration (for example LoginGracetime 2m), but can’t figure out how. I set up the server the following way:

  services.openssh = {
    enable = true;
    openFirewall = true;
    allowSFTP = false;
    ports = [ 20200 ];
    settings = {
      PasswordAuthentication = false;
      KbdInteractiveAuthentication = false;
      PermitRootLogin = "no";
      X11Forwarding = false;
      AllowUsers = [ "${user}" ];
    };
  };

Can I just add LoginGracetime = "2m"; to the settings section? I’m not sure if that’s possible, because I couldn’t find the option on the search.nixos.org options search.

I’m thankful for every hint, as I am pretty new to NixOS.

Hi,

Yes, you could try, you are very close

services.openssh.settings

or

services.openssh.extraConfig

looks like the place to put your setting

just try it?

That worked, thank you!
I added the line services.openssh.extraConfig = "LoginGracetime 2m";.
