Facing Issue in Configuring SSH Access

[akshat-kumar2109]

I had to manually add the SSH keys to each servers. I am getting this error on the following command. Can anyone tell me what can be the reason for this?

this works on my local virtual machines. didn't try on cloud.

step 1: sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config step 2: FROM:

PermitRootLogin prohibit-password

    TO:
    PermitRootLogin yes

Shortcut (Step 1 + Step 2): sudo sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

step 3: sudo systemctl restart ssh

step 4: sudo passwd [sudo] password for linuxconfig: Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully

step 5: sudo ufw allow ssh
