Sudo systemctl start sshd?

btw, remember to set the main shell of the git user to git-shell

Maybe I put it wrong. The question is why if start sshd like /sbin/sshd it works fine, but is I start systemctl start sshd it ask me a password?

git is just a user

like any other

shouldn’t be, there’s no reason to log in to that user

systemctl is a wrapper, usking polkit (presumably) to authenticate and run the service as root

when you run sshd in the shell manually you’re running it as a user, and thus don’t need to authenticate as root

you /should/ run the service as root

Why..?

because no user should have the privilege of opening the door to your system

sudo systemctl start sshd?

Because systemctl services run as root by default

If you want to start something as user you can use a parameter

–user

reason number 6969129 to not use systemd

Unless some specific processes aren’t set to run as user

Like pipewire etc.

because it confuses users by doing unintuitive wrappers like this

I’m not a systemd hater

But I’m not a systemd fan

fair enough

I want ssh server. How to start it? How to add to autorun?

I use it, it’s comfortable

agree

it’s nice if you want something which just works

Especially networkd recently

I also used their bootloader

also it’s fairly easy to set up a service

and it /mostly/ just works

But I use grub now because systemd-boot doesn’t support boot on lvm

sudo systemctl sshd start gg wp you’re done

Wrong syntax though

if you want to autostart the server, sudo systemctl sshd enable

Start before the service name

right
