...
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
#--2 Modification part
Port 7777
ClientAliveInterval 900
ClientAliveCountMax 0
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
GSSAPIAuthentication no
PermitRootLogin no
AllowUsers iloveyou
PermitEmptyPasswords no
# --FINISH
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
exit
connect : ssh iloveyou@10.129.xxx.xx -p7777
The Result / Impact : i cant connect to my server in the DO cloud :(.
Below the log:
----------------
