In CentOS, root has almost all permissions. Once the root user password is leaked, it will be a fatal threat to the server and prohibit root users from remotely logging on through ssh, in this way, even if the root user password is leaked, the server security can be guaranteed. 1: create a common user, doiido, and add it to the corresponding group. note: You must create a new user. Otherwise, you will not be able to remotely log on to the server through ssh # groupadddoiido # In CentOS, root has almost all permissions.

# Groupadd doiido
# Useradd-g doiido
Change doiido password
# Passwd doiido

# Sed-I's/# PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/'/etc/ssh/sshd_config
