Tips and Tricks
Secure Shell (SSH)
Secure Shell (SSH) access option was removed in 4.0 as a security precaution. Most users do not need SSH access, and yet, many end-users would select all options, not knowing the risks. To enable SSH access for a user, login as root and type:
passwd <username>
usermod -s /bin/bash <username>
