• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Cannot login via SSH as user

pknutsen

New Pleskian
In run a linux box with Plesk 7.5. In Plesk I have allowed shell access for some users. This works, to some extent.

If I login as root via SSH, I can su to a user that was granted shell access via Plesk

However, I can not login directly to the server as any other user than root.

Thus, there is effectively no way for my users to login to the server.

The 'box' is a 'brand new' VPS. First, I find it odd that root access via SSH is default. Second, I don't know whether the problem with user access via SSH is a Plesk related problem or related to SSH. The fact that the users can su suggests that its an SSH related problem. I checked the sshd_config file for the AllowUsers directory. It isn't even there. Is there anywhere else I could fix this manually?

Also, why doesn't Plesk do what its supposed to do? (i.e. grant shell users access via SSH).
