Nologin Ssh
Setting /sbin/nologin as the user’s shell (or /bin/false or /bin/true, which are almost equivalent) forbids the user from logging in to run any command whatsoever.SSH always invokes the user’s login shell to run commands, so you need to set the login shell to one that is able to run some commands.
