I've been looking through the forums to find an install guide that is already completed for a NextCloud install on either CentOS7 or Ubuntu. Is there one here in the community? If so, I cant find it. This would be a brand new install, not migrating from owncloud or upgrading.

Having seen the setup that @art_of_shred and @Minion-Queen have, I am considering doing the same. The ReadyNAS is already in place and stocked with media.

You have a Boxee Box?

@scottalanmiller Yeah, it was a test box on Vultr, and in the end, I'll probably just reinstall it, but the fact that it's doing this is bothering me, especially thinking about if it would be a production box. Oh well, thanks for the help.

@travisdh1 Didn't like that either. It also doesn't work if I remove AllowGroups and try it with AllowUsers. It's almost like any line I add into that config borks the entire thing.

@scottalanmiller said in Access denied - SSH login:

Test the login from the box itself using the loopback 127.0.0.1

No go. Permission denied, using the same password that I just logged in with.

Okay, so you can rule out networking, both firewalls, etc. It's all down to SSH configuration at this point.

Thanks for the tip. That definitely narrowed it down. So after playing with the config file for a while, I concluded that the problem is the line:

AllowGroups wheel

If I comment that out, it works perfect. if it's uncommented, it doesn't allow access, even to root.

(looks up and to the right while squinting eyes, confused...)

@RamblingBiped said in Access denied - SSH login:

"invalid user root"

What does your sshd_config file look like? Is root allowed? Have you restarted the ssh server since you made the last changes to the config file?

Yes, service is restarted. The only changes to the stock sshd_config flle is:

PermitRootLogin yes
AllowGroups wheel
Port xxxx
AddressFamily inet

Just tried, and it says Failed password for invalid user root from IP port xxxxx ssh2

Nothing is blacklisted. In fact, in both Fail2Ban as well as the Responsive firewall in firewall, the IP I'm trying to connect from is whitelisted/in the trusted zone.

For good measure, I stopped Fail2Ban, and still receive the same messages.

After entering password:

debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password
Permission denied, please try again.

Nope, Permission denied after allowing root, changing root's password, and restarting ssh

@JaredBusch Yep, and I also created another user just to be sure. No dice. Also restarted the entire server for good measure.

I have a new FreePBX box that I setup SSH access for, and I cannot login. I'm attempting to login with a password, on another port, and I keep receiving access denied messages. I went through the same process as I always do for enabling SSH connectivity. Either something is wrong that I've never run into before, or I'm just having a brain fail this morning.

Added a user

useradd user1
passwd user1

Added user to wheel group

gpasswd -a user1 wheel

Edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and:
Changed the port number
Added AllowGroups wheel
Changed PermitRootLogin to no.

Restarted the SSH service

Tail of secure says:

Failed password for user1 from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 52293 ssh

What am I missing?

I haven't even tried these yet, but have a feeling they will be a new favorite. You had me at bacon and eggs.

Perhaps you meant "Poll"

Except that is not a pole in the picture... it is a staff.

Staff on a pole.

No, it's more like staff on a staff. That's a Bo staff, not a pole.

If they were strippers, that would be staff on a pole. @pchiodo ... go fish!

I left this thread a few hours ago to go to some meetings, and come back to find this thread 189 posts long, with strippers and poles in the last few posts. This site is amazing.

Also, why isn't virtualize in my computer's dictionary?

Because many of the browsers actually don't have the word in their dictionaries...

I know, I'm just pointing it that I don't like it. haha

"You Cannot Virtualize That" = "Challenge accepted"

I've run into this with a very popular 3D drafting software company. In the end, I was just convinced that the "you cannot visualize that" mandate is simply a way for them to blame virtualization for problems with their software. In other words, if you have a problem, and their support cannot figure out the solution, they will always come back to the fact that you virtualized their product, which is "not supported."

Also, why isn't virtualize in my computer's dictionary?

@Mike-Davis said in Role play Session:

"How to sell ______ to your boss/customer."

This would be perfect for new folks starting their career. Better yet: "How to sell to your boss/customer by adding value or saving money for the company.

I've seen this so many times. It comes down to risk management. How much can the business tolerate in lost productivity or revenue if there is a problem due to X being cheap? Is the business willing to assume that risk?

Being in IT, I would always push towards the best solution for the company , even if it is more expensive. However, some business owners just don't see it that way. It's a shame, but as you know, it happens all the time.
