Hello,

I Have an issue with task 4. I disabled root login, use Permitrootlogin with no. But had this error :

root login is not disabled on App Server 1
root login is not disabled on App Server 2
root login is not disabled on App Server 3

Regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,

Its case sensitive PermitRootLogin no

#3

Hello @kodekloud-support3, i writted with the upper case. I only uncommented the line and set to no.

Is there a bug with this task ?

Hi!

I uncomment PermitRootLogin and change value to “no” and get failed in this task!!! Really? What else I must do?

Hi Denden,

We just reviewed your answer and found that you missed to restart sshd service hence your answer was marked as failed.

Thanks

Hi Jdev,

We just reviewed your answer and also as per screenshot you shared, we found that on App Server 1 you have made the required changes in ssh_config file instead of sshd_config file. Hence your answer was marked as failed.

Thanks

Hello,
I’m facing the same issue. I’ve done the same task and keep getting root login not disabled on App1. I’ve followed the right instructions.

Hi @Wendo-Kingoo,
I am seeing the task is in pending state. Can you please give it another try? Make sure you remove the hash (#) before the line and then restart the SSH service.

Hi @Wendo-Kingoo,
I watched your work and I followed the same steps and completed the task.
You may have forgotten to restart the sshd service on app server1.

I had to restart all the app servers using different terminals. It works, thank you.
