Hello,
On the new vps, Essential**, i get only centos user and password not root**. When i try to access root with su root i put password that i get and doesen"t working . On website say i have acces to root not access on a user centos !
Also when i try to modify reverse path from ovh panel give me an error : An error has occurred updating the reverse path. not implemented
Somebody can help me with an solution?
For root access problem,solution is:
sudo yum install nano
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Add the following line in the file.
PermitRootLogin yes
After we save the file (ctrl +x then Y for yes) we should restart the sshd service.
sudo systemctl restart sshd.service
sudo passwd root ( set password for root user ,must to be strong password to be safe)
You can now try to log in directly as a root user.
Then follow instruction from ovh help to securize your server.
Reverse path for now is a problem ,they resolve ASAP.
Best regards!
