Installing zsh on remote server disabled ssh login?
First time server admin. I have a remote VPS running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
- I logged in as
rootand created a newsudouser. - I logged in as the new user and disabled password login to the the
rootaccount. - I generated ssh keys for the new user account.
- I disabled password login to the new user account (
PasswordAuthentication noin/etc/ssh/sshd_config). EDIT: Judging from the logs, I might not have done this correctly, though I still can't log in with my password.
So far, so good. I could ssh in to my remote server using my local ssh key, without entering a password.
- I installed
zshon the remote server and set it as the default shell usingsudo usermod -s /usr/bin/zsh $(whoami). - I restarted the server and was logged out.
Since then, I haven't been able to access my server at all. The ssh local key doesn't work, and passwords for the root account and user account don't work. I get Permission denied, please try again. on all attempts.
Is there a fix?
server ssh login zsh
