Hi Team,
I have disabled root login in /etc/passwd file. Please find attached image.
Is this not sufficient?
Hi,
You must manipulate the sshd_config file to do this so the root user can’t connect
Thanks Buddy, got it.
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin no

i did the same /sbin/nologin on all three app machines, but is shows task failed on app2 and app3 machine only (which means it succeded on app1) why is that?
You need to make required changes in sshd_config file. changing shell to /sbin/nologin is incorrect as per requirements asked in the question.
For App 1 since you changed the root password itself which is bad to do since its not asked in the question so validation didn’t work for it at all.

You missed to restart sshd service after making required changes hence tasks failed for you.

Open Three Terminal and ssh on all App server
on Terminal one,
ssh tony@stapp01
on Terminal Two
ssh steve@stapp02
on Terminal three
ssh banner@stapp03
Run the below command on each app server and Search for #PermitRootLogin yes
sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Remove the “#” and change “yes” to “no” according to image
sudo systemctl restart sshd
