I'm trying to get to grips with disallowing login to server using root as user and have found the following advice.
1. I'm not sure what privileges to grant the new user? If I'm not able to log back in as root after updating sshd config file, should it not be all privileges for everything for user?
2. At the moment I've assigned an existing user for one of my domains. Is it not possible though to add a really obscure name by creating an account using a fictitious domain? Then just assign that user?
Hope someone can advise.
Pretty straighforward, but I have a couple of questions.On WHM > Resellers > Reseller Center
Assign the user which you want to give WHM access.
Then under Reseller Modifications > Edit Privileges/Nameservers
Assign that user which areas of WHM you would like to give
