Hi, I have recently installed ispconfig on a Debian Wheezy virtual server (using a Perfect Server guide) and everything seemed to run smoothly afterwards. But since I have logged out of the server after the installation I am no longer able to login via ssh as a non-jailed user including root (I have installed jailkit before ispconfig according to the guide). I have created a shell user in the web interface which logs in fine but as it is jailed/chrooted and of course cannot su it is hard to change any config (and normally that would be a good thing). But when logging in with the user I used to (and su'ed afterwards) I only get a "Permission denied, please try again." in the SSH login. I am 100% sure I use the correct password. Does jailkit or ipsconfig somehow fiddle with existing users or their passwords? At the moment I have a server which is running fine but I don't have much control over, so not an "ideal" situation. I would like to supply any logs but without proper access that is quite hard . Maybe someone has an idea or experienced a similar situation and knows what to do and how to save me from a reinstall. I have searched the forums but couldn't fine a thread with a similar problem. I am running ispconfig 3.0.5.3 and jailkit 2.13. Thanks, Juergen
Hmmm..... nevermind. Sometimes the easiest solutions are the ones you think of last. As I couldn't restart the system via ssh I did a hard-reset on the virtual machine. After it came back I can log back into SSH with my un-jailed user and can also su with a shell user (created with ispconfig) that is using no Chroot shell. Seems like after the first reboot something did not come up correctly . Anyway all good now . Cheers, Juergen
