Finishing up
I've been a Linux user for many years now, initially in my teaching career at technical college, starting with early RedHat, then on to Fedora, until I discovered Centos, from version 3 onwards. I picked up a good skills set. During, and after I quit teaching, I devoted time and energy looking after...

Re: How to increase swap space in CentOS 7
Do you have space in the machine to add a small 2nd drive, and put a SWAP partition on it?

Re: root user.
You might want to use
su - "username"
not sudo,
if your intention is log use anther user's login/environment.
Simply using:
su -
with place you in root's shell.
"exit" to get out.

Re: Why these ports are open?
So you ran nmap on the server you are testing?
Because:
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
will accept anything on localhost.

Re: Logout a SSH user.
When I see users with the same name (could be me), I prefer to go about logging one off in a longwinded way.
Commands I use:
who
who am i
ps -A | grep bash
All of this should get you the users' bash PIDs.
Then kill -9 'relevant PID'.
Works for me.

Re: Erratic sshd start
Log files duly inspected in great detail.
All they revealed was "Deprecated option RSAAuthentication".
So I commented out the relevant entry for that in sshd_config.
I also set "UseDNS no".
So far so good.

Re: Erratic sshd start
Yesterday, after more than an hour, I still could not ssh to the server.
I have tried this with firewall on and off, no difference.
