sed -i 's@session\s*required\s*pam_loginuid.so@session optional pam_loginuid.so@g' /etc/pam.d/sshd

# Set up SSH key
if [ ! -z "$PUBLIC_KEY" ]; then
    mkdir -p /root/.ssh
    echo "$PUBLIC_KEY" > /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
    chmod 700 /root/.ssh
    chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
fi

# Set SSH port
if [ ! -z "$SSH_PORT" ]; then
