Creating a new SSH user in Ubuntu
You can create a new SSH user on Ubuntu by following these steps:
Log in to your Ubuntu server as the root user or a sudo user.
Open a terminal window.
Use the following command to create a new user:
sudo adduser newusername
Replace newusername
with the name you want to give the new user.
Set a password for the new user when prompted.
Add the new user to the sudo
group so they have administrative privileges:
sudo usermod -aG sudo newusername
Edit the SSH configuration file to allow the new user to connect via SSH. Open the SSH configuration file with a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find the line that says #AllowUsers and remove the # symbol at the beginning of the line.
Add the new user's username to the end of the line, separated by a space.
Save and close the file.
Restart the SSH service to apply the changes:
sudo service ssh restart
Now you can connect to the Ubuntu server using the new user's credentials.
