SSH

Use only one user sshlogin for logins to the server. Switch to your main user with su - adminuser afterwards.

sudo sed -i '$ a sshlogin:*:1001:65534::/home/sshlogin:/bin/sh' /etc/passwd
sudo sed -i '$ a Match User *' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo sed -i '$ a Include /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.user' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo cp *.conf *.user /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d

sudo mkdir -p /home/sshlogin/.ssh
sudo chown sshlogin:root /home/sshlogin/.ssh

• Either create a password with sudo passwd sshlogin or
• Add a key sudo -u sshlogin editor /home/sshlogin/.ssh/authorized_keys
• Test config for user with sudo sshd -T -C user=sshlogin
