minimal length, easy to understand. You are so great

Thank you very much! This is very helpful 👍 you've earned yourself a subscriber 🙂

Thank you very helpful ! How can I add a public key to connect with this ssh user?

[adityavaste]

That's what I was looking for....Thank you so so so so so much 🤗 You got new subs.

great video but remember to let people know that they should add the user they're logged in with, if any, since adding ONLY root and the new user will have the currently logged in user unable to ssh login after the current session terminates. (personal experience with this video 2yrs ago. I had to go buy a keyboard to get into my server again). Otherwise great vide.

I wish you would show hot to add a new user when you have a public key setup on the server. How do you generate additional private keys from an existing public key?

great video Tony. Would you be up for creating a complete guide on how to create and secure a web server? For example Digital Ocean with CyberPanel market place app and the whole security portion, auto-updates, disable passwords logins etc? Thanks!

[hawkintelligence]

i love how these people never go over errors or possibility or errors. Soo. What do you do when passwords aren't set. Even after sudo passwd changes? Yet the ssh login still doesn't work or allow passwords to be used?

[axiomteck]

can you mention every keyboard shortcut and so on the u use because is hard to follow with out knowing the software, but everything is awesome what great videos

[airbangaldesh]

I can’t copy csr code from my terminal in one click Wordpress vultr. Can you help me?

[lubomirsevcik]

Dont forget to change option "PasswordAuthentification no" to option "yes" :)

[Woljap]

but your on the same network... how would you connect this up from WAN network on another network and possible firewall

[lechsiz]

sure wish I could do this while the microSD card with the Linux server OS is in my PC instead of in a headless Pi. I can only add that one line now (AllowUsers) and not the password. That seems like a real flaw.

[JackReacher]

I tried this on aws ubuntu 18.04, I was able to create the user but was not able to ssh like you did in the end.

[barisyasar]

Hi, thanks. How do you insert a line (keyboard shortcut)? I ended up having a swap file and it asks me to delete it. How can I do that and then move on?

[marcoFVD]

not good :-( after permission set to no for root is it not possible to have root (sudo) acces for the new user.

[инж.ЯворИванов]

ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused

[haitham]

Still give me permission denied in RHEL 7.1, please try again

If your logged in as root you don't need sudo just saying 👍

[ddrci]

Always add user, never ever use root and do your things I know its easy to use root but its
