Hi!
First buy license for SFTP

I think is much more secure add a pair off keys to all user for login on sftp.
So I decide to change v-add-user script located on /usr/local/vesta/bin

AFTER

Code: Select all

#----------------------------------------------------------#
#                       Action                             #
#----------------------------------------------------------#

# Parsing package data
pkg_data=$(cat $VESTA/data/packages/$package.pkg |egrep -v "TIME|DATE")

# Checking shell
shell_conf=$(echo "$pkg_data" | grep 'SHELL' | cut -f 2 -d \')
shell=$(grep -w "$shell_conf" /etc/shells |head -n1)

# Adding user
/usr/sbin/useradd "$user" -s "$shell" -c "$email" -m -d "$HOMEDIR/$user"
check_result $? "user creation failed" $E_INVALID

# Adding password
echo "$user:$password" | /usr/sbin/chpasswd

# Building directory tree
mkdir $HOMEDIR/$user/conf

ADD THIS

Code: Select all

############## Start Add ssh key support############################
### build directory
mkdir $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh
#create ssh key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -N $password -f $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh/id_rsa

cp $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown -R $user:sftp-only $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh
chown -R $user:sftp-only $HOMEDIR/$user/.ssh/*
######## end off ssh key creation #################################

Disable Password autentication on /etc/ssh/sshd_config.conf
add or change line

Code: Select all

PasswordAuthentication no

NOTE: PASSWORD OF SSHKEY IS THE PASSWORD YOU CHOOSE FOR USER

ADD MOD FOR CHANGE PASSWORD.

when you change password for one user.

Now create one new sshkey with new password for user.

this change is made on file

Code: Select all

/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-change-user-password

check file

change code if you want.

Code: Select all

#----------------------------------------------------------#
#                       Action                             #
#----------------------------------------------------------#

# Changing user password
echo "$user:$password" | /usr/sbin/chpasswd
md5=$(awk -v user=$user -F : 'user == $1 {print $2}' /etc/shadow)

###################add by me #############
