Can't supress annoying broadcast messages

Post by blind0ne » Thu Mar 17, 2022 6:45 pm

Hello, I'm new here

Please help me, recently I've started using openVPN on rented virtual machine powered by Debian the last, I've successfully using it, but there is a problem that makes my work on this server nearly impossible - every few minutes the message appears on my root bash:

Code: Select all

Broadcast message from root@kov-1 (Thu 2022-03-17 18:42:06 UTC):

Password entry required for 'Enter Private Key Password:' (PID 63978).
Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool.
I've already had done steps from previous threads on this forum on this issue, but didn't get result.
It's really strange that along with this broadcast the actual vpn connection still working,
Thank you :mrgreen:

ended up with such solution:

systemctl disable systemd-ask-password-wall.service
systemctl disable systemd-ask-password-wall.path
systemctl stop systemd-ask-password-wall.path
systemctl stop systemd-ask-password-wall.service
