Hi.
Lost my old notes. Laying out how to setup test cloud instance to be
able to have testUserA and root
testUserA will login/access via ssh
testUSerA will create private/pub key, with /home/testUserA/.ssh on
the CloudInstance (D1)
ssh will allow testUserA
ssh will not allow root access
root will have passwd -- passwd1 (example)
root will not have ssh key, (why would it need it?)
my question..
testUserA will access via ssh and then can simply su root to do root things..
or should there be an intermediate user with "sudo" rights that
testUserA would change to, to then do root things.
Is there a reason you don't want to follow the usual practice?
user has sudo access and root optionally has an ssh key for login.
