Unable to login to SSH

[David C]

I'm having a problem accessing my ssh in a user account other than root.

I have a username called "zeus" and when I try to logon, I get an access denied.

Whereas in root, I can logon as per normal.

Has anyone experienced this before?


PS: "zeus" is not an account created in DA. Its an acct created in shell itself.

make sure you have this entry in your sshd_conf

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_conf

Add

AllowUsers zeus

just put it at the bottom line

Thanks, editted the line in.

Do I need to restart sshd because it doesn't seem to read from the updated config file.

What's the command?
