This is a task you will want to complete as soon as possible during your initial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/vps-hosting\">VPS <\/a>setup phase, because you are advised against using the default \u201croot\u201d user account for your daily tasks. Below, we will also show you how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#create\">How to Create a New User in CentOS<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#disallow\">Disallow Root Logins<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#login\">Login with SSH Keys<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#next\">Next Steps<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"create\">How to Create a New User in CentOS<\/h2>\n<p>Remember that we are currently assuming the <em>root<\/em> user when first logging into the VPS. Without a <em>superuser<\/em> account, these commands would require that you add \u201csudo\u201d at the beginning of the command line in order to run properly.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to substitute your custom username in place of \u201cusername\u201d as used below.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li>Create the user with this command:\n<pre class=\"cli\">adduser username<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Assign a secure password for this user:\n<pre class=\"cli\">passwd username<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Add the user to the wheel group:\n<pre class=\"cli\">usermod -a -G wheel username<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now we have a new user who belongs to the \u201cwheel\u201d group. Being in the wheel group means that the user can assume root privileges when necessary by adding \u201csudo\u201d before any command that requires elevated privileges.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"disallow\">Disallow Root Logins<\/h3>\n<p>As an extra security step after you create a new user, you can disallow root logins over SSH. In order to do this, you can log in again as the root user or stay logged in from the session above in order to edit your SSH configuration file.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li>Edit the configuration file with your preferred text editor (Nano, Vim, Vi, etc.):\n<pre class=\"cli\">nano \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Edit the line that begins with <em>PermitRootLogin<\/em>:\n<pre class=\"cli\"><span style=\"color: red;\">- PermitRootLogin without-password<\/span><\/pre>\n<pre class=\"cli\"><span style=\"color: green;\">+ PermitRootLogin no<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Save and exit the file.<\/li>\n<li>Restart your SSH service:\n<pre class=\"cli\">systemctl reload sshd<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"login\">How to Login with SSH Keys<\/h2>\n<p>This is very important to set up because your account automatically disables password authentication. This means you will need to log in with SSH keys in order to use your new user.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li>Switch to your new user if still logged in as root:\n<pre class=\"cli\">su username<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Change directory to home:\n<pre class=\"cli\">cd<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Make an <span style=\"color: green;\">.ssh<\/span> directory:\n<pre class=\"cli\">mkdir .ssh<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Navigate into the new <span style=\"color: green;\">.ssh<\/span> directory and create an <span style=\"color: green;\">authorized_keys<\/span> file:\n<pre class=\"cli\">nano authorized_keys<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Paste your public key into the <em>authorized_keys<\/em> file. This would be everything in the .pub file from your current SSH key.<\/li>\n<li>Change permissions for the <em>.ssh<\/em> directory:\n<pre class=\"cli\">chmod 700 ~\/.ssh<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<li>Change permissions for the <em>authorized_keys<\/em> file:\n<pre class=\"cli\">chmod 600 ~\/.ssh\/authorized_keys<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"next\">Next Steps<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure to test your new login in a separate terminal window before logging out of the root user. If there are any issues, you can resolve them in that terminal session. Once you\u2019ve completed this task, consider taking additional steps to secure your Linux server. Change the default SSH port from 22 to uncommonly used port to defend against malicious port scans and SSH-based cyber attacks.
