Trying to ssh in and it keeps rejecting the password. I am using my user password, would this be the correct password for ssh or is it something else please?

Hi Rich, you need to login as a non root user then sudo or su - /bin/bash 

root logins are normally rejected in the default sshd config as a security precaution. 

also the user you log in with ie rich@host will need an appropriate entery in sudo.conf 

if in doublt use an overly permissive setting at set up eg rich all=(all) .... check man page for exact config. 

you normally do this setup from a local treminal first. 

best regards Jay
