Gameserver ssh config locks out 'gameuser' for some reason
Hi there,
I just installed the TKL Gameserver for the first time and ended up at this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/TurnkeyLinux/comments/vl2uhh/turnkey_gameserver...
I don't have a reddit account so I'm commenting here, I found that the 'gameuser' account is specifically blocked in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for reasons I don't understand. Not sure if the reddit post is related.
My understanding is that you log in via the "root" user (using the root password set on firstboot - as per any TurnKey server) and the 'gameserver' user is used internally for running the services (not used directly).
Maybe I'm missing something, but my understanding seems consistent with this note (in the conf script):
Also, I note that there is a doc page in the repo too. I'm not clear on how good that actually is, but it was updated last year, so hopefully it's still relevant.
Hopefully my post is of some value? If you get a chance, it'd be great if you could report back with how you go.
