Can't login anymore via sshd

  • 772

I have been working with SSH for a long time, but recently I have needed to add another user to my set up. I followed some instructions I found on the web and did the folllowing.

adduser sam
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
     AllowUsers michael, sam
sudo reboot

I set up the user sam completely, added the allow users to the sshd configuration and rebooted. Now michael is sudoer, but the funny thing is, I can login via ssh with Sams credentials but not michaels anymore.

Any ideas?

    From the man sshd_config:

    AllowUsers
This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated by spaces.

    Then, your line have to be in this form:

    AllowUsers michael sam
