Folks,
I have searched this and I see it has come up several times and I really
don't want to frustrate anyone, but I have read the messages and was not
able to see what the actual answer was.
I understand "su" does not work – answer use ssh. SSHD cannot start
because user sshd cannot login. I run login sshd type in the password and
then I get the message.
The shell set for user 'sshd' in '/etc/passwd' is '/bin/false' which means
that user can't be used as a regular user to login with.
Any help is appreciated.
If your problem is that the 'sshd' service will not start, then you're
better off putting in a problem report.
