Access denied - SSH login
-
Yeah, that is a bit odd.
-
@fuznutz04 If you comment out 'PermitRootLogin yes' and leave 'AllowGroups wheel' in, are you able to login as a member of the wheel group? Thinking it might not like overlapping root and wheel, maybe.
I'm with @scottalanmiller, it doesn't make sense either way.
-
I think allow group will only allow members from that group and since root isn't part of wheel it can't log in.
-
If you add
AllowUsers rootit should also let root along with the wheel group.
-
@travisdh1 Didn't like that either. It also doesn't work if I remove AllowGroups and try it with AllowUsers. It's almost like any line I add into that config borks the entire thing.
-
Very odd, indeed. Sorry I don't have any magic insight there.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah, it was a test box on Vultr, and in the end, I'll probably just reinstall it, but the fact that it's doing this is bothering me, especially thinking about if it would be a production box. Oh well, thanks for the help.
