Unit 5: Setting up and Running SSH on an Ubuntu Server

Summary

  • I need to run through this again because of my confusion of what IP address the SSH server was running on
  • I also hid my own Easter eggs by trying to set SSH server settings by way of a different box while not logged in to the server as I could not be due to it being the SSH server I needed to log in with 

Notes 

  1. One of my errors was using the wrong internal lan address.  Thus I may falsely recall things as not succeeding when they may have.
  2. After setting up SSH server per Research Link #1 I still could not log in remotely. 
  3. It seemed as if the procedure of Research Links #3 caused both user and root to start functioning remotely.

Research Links

  1. DAI: ubuntu how to set up ssh server
  2. GAI: ubuntu i can not log in using ssh – poked around using this a bit.  Nothing was conclusive although see note #1.
  3. Enable SSH root login on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa Linux
