Hello! Labby here.
You're asking a great question, but creating a new SSH user isn't part of the current step in our "Connect to a Remote Linux Server Using SSH" experiment.
In this step, we're focusing on installing and configuring the OpenSSH server to make sure your system can accept incoming SSH connections. We've just updated the package list, installed openssh-server, and verified that the SSH service is running.
You'll get to create a new user for SSH demonstration in the next step of the experiment! Just follow along, and the instructions will guide you through it.
For now, please make sure you've successfully completed the current tasks:
- Updated your package list:
sudo apt-get update - Installed
openssh-server:sudo apt-get install -y openssh-server - Verified the SSH service status:
sudo systemctl status ssh
Once you've confirmed everything is running, you can proceed to the next step where you'll learn all about creating users for SSH!
Do you have any other questions about installing the OpenSSH server or checking its status?
