How to create a user with root rights and in the same directory?

Question

linux

I took a VPS, now, in order to connect via FTP, you need to create a new user, because you cannot log in as root.
I do it like this

sudo useradd -ou 0 -g 0 test
sudo passwd 634gdf264h4

Then I check and he has such a directory
test:x:0:0::/home/test:/bin/sh
, and root
has this
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
How to make a user so that he also has everything, like root?

Answer 1

There is no need to create a user with root rights, which is why root access via SSH is closed by default. Change the process so you don't have to pour files into the root folder.

Answer 2

1. never do that .
Your password will remain in plain text in bash history
2. Forget about root here at all, and never touch it with your hands
3. Never run anything from root - from services and especially WEB.
I beg you, order the settings from the TP hoster or on a freelance somewhere, do not produce botnet nodes.

n't have to throw anything into the root homework - root is the user for performing server system administration tasks when editing configs is required. A noob needs to get it over with. By heart.
For daily work, you need to create a regular user, which (here via root) should be given the necessary rights and work only from this user

Answer 4

The "useradd" command allows you to specify the user's home directory.
In general, it makes sense to study the structure of the files that store this information: "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/shadow" - they can be edited in any text editor.
You correctly decided that root rights are given through UID==GID==0.
However, Above you were very correctly pointed out that it is forbidden to use root to connect via most protocols - they simply will not let you in under a user with UID == 0. For the command line (shell) use "sudo"; and via FTP root is not available at all. In principle, this can be changed - but it would be a huge security hole.
As for your question, it's not at all clear why you need FTP access to ~root ...

Answer 5

So you forgot to specify the directory to the user, but why the heck is the second user with the same rights, use root right away
