I dont have allowusers on that config :( how so i fix

[@LinuxTechHub]

Hi, If that line is not there, then you can add it at the end of the file and mention the usernames you want to allow for ssh connection.
After you add that line any user which is not mentioned will be restricted for ssh connection.
Once you added the allow user line and save the file, restart the ssh services.

if I don't see de auth.log, this filedoesnt exist

[@LinuxTechHub]

Hi,
Run below command to see the live logs for ssh authentication issues:
journalctl -u ssh -f
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Before that run below command to check if journald service is running:
systemctl status systemd-journald*
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If it is stopped , then run:
systemctl start systemd-journald*
systemctl enable systemd-journald*
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Why auth.log is missing from /var/log ?
Because You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional syslog has been replaced
with the Journal. The journal stores the same (and more) information as classic
syslog. To make use of the journal and access the collected log data simply
invoke "journalctl", which will output the logs in the identical text-based
format the syslog files in /var/log used to be.
Let me know if it helps.
