For initial installation and system configuration, and depending on your comfort level, using the root user is a quick and easy way to get up and running.  However, for day to day usage and maintenance of your system it is considered a best practice to have a sudo user available and disallow root access.  This is also recommended for security purposes.  In this article, you will learn how to create a sudo user in your Debian 10 system and how to disallow root access going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#create-sudo-debian\">Reasons For Creating a Sudo User?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#adduser-debian\">Add a Sudo User to Your Debian System<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ssh-login-debian\">How to Log Into Sudo User With SSH Key<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"jumbotron\">\r\n<p>If you don\u2019t need cPanel, don't pay for it.

In order to accomplish this, you will have already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/cloud-server\/manage-ssh-keys\/\">added an SSH key to your server via the Account Management Panel<\/a>.  Be sure to replace \u201cexample.com\u201d with your primary domain or dedicated IP address:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orgce3d402\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">ssh root@example.com\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nOnce you are logged into the server, you can begin by creating the new user account with the <code>adduser<\/code> command:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orga8b84d7\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">adduser &lt;user&gt;\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p> You will be prompted with several form fields.  You can fill these out or optionally skip through them using your <kbd>Enter<\/kbd> key.  However, you must create a strong password for the user.  (Even though you will later be using SSH to log into the server, it is still good practice to create this strong password.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nNext, it\u2019s time to grant \u201csudo\u201d privileges to the user, for which you can run the following command:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orgb682a5f\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">usermod -aG sudo &lt;user&gt;\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nNow you have successfully created a new user on your Debian system with sudo privileges.  You are now able to switch from your root user to the new user using the <code>su<\/code> command:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orgd5d533f\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">su &lt;user&gt;\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ssh-login-debian\">How to Log Into Sudo User With SSH Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">Remember, even if you disallow root login, you can always assume the root user using the <code>su<\/code> command above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nTo configure your new user for instant login via SSH, you must simply edit the SSH configuration file to\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"org-ol wp-block-list\"><li>Allow sudo users to log in with a key<\/li><li>(Optionally) disable root login via SSH (most secure)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p> You can use any text editor to edit the SSH configuration file, but for the examples that follows the <code>nano<\/code> text editor will be used: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orga6512ce\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">sudo nano \/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nChange the following line:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org3a51153\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">- AllowGroups wheel root\n<\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nTo allow to <code>sudo<\/code> users:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org52e1009\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">+ AllowGroups wheel root sudo\n<\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nChange the \u201cPermitRootLogin\u201d line from \u201cwithout-password\u201d to a value of \u201cno\u201d.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org5aac0ab\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">- PermitRootLogin without-password\n<\/span><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">+ PermitRootLogin no\n<\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nUse the <code>cd<\/code> command to chagne into your home directory:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org6280fa6\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">cd\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nMake a directory called \u201c.ssh\u201d:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orge2078a4\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">mkdir .ssh\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nChange into the \u201c.ssh\u201d directory:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org72529da\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">cd .ssh\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nCreate a file called \u201cauthorized_keys\u201d and paste your local SSH public key into the file:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org03df8d8\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">nano authorized_keys\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nChange permissions of this file to 600:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org048e46d\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">chmod 600 authorized_keys\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nChanging back to home directory, it\u2019s also a good idea to change permissions of the \u201c.ssh\u201d directory to 700:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"orgc407f44\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">chmod 700 ~\/.ssh\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nNow, you can go ahead and restart the SSH service:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org8759986\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">sudo service ssh restart\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\nIf you have completed all of these steps you can now log directly into your server with the sudo user from your local machine:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre id=\"org5eac72b\" class=\"wp-block-preformatted example\">ssh &lt;user&gt;@example.com\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Well done!
