| + | === Restricting SSH access === | ||
| + | |||
| + | To restric access to SSH for a user is very simple all you have to do is edit the "/etc/passwd" file | ||
| + | |||
| + | nano /etc/passwd | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Once your are editing the file, you should notice the user you recently created is near or at the bottom of the list (Example line below) | ||
| + | |||
| + | newuser:x:1008:1008::/home/newuser:/bin/false | ||
| + | |||
| + | The first part is the username, in this case "newuser" | ||
| + | The "x" means a password is set for the user | ||
| + | The two numbers have different meanings, the first number "1008" in this case is the User ID. The second number is the Group ID (Stored in /etc/group) | ||
| + | The "/home/newuser" is the users current home directory (We will cover more about this in the FTP part below) | ||
| + | The last part is the most important to this step "/bin/false" means they have "No" SSH access, it will be "/bin/sh" by default (Meaning they have SSH access), so change this from "/bin/sh" > "/bin/false" to disable SSH access for that user. | ||
