When I opened /etc/ssh/sshd_config there was no AllowUsers.  So I added 
it to the bottom of the file.  I only added the user that I was going to 
use for ssh/owner of the Docroot.

I was then unable to SSH into my server, as I recall, by the new user.

When I initially installed Ubuntu 24.04lts server it asked me for a user 
and password.  I had to add that user to the new AllowUsers line in the 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config file.  At that point I was able to SSH into the 
server using either username.
