### RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) / CentOS
If using RedHat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, you cannot use the `root` user as [SSH user]({{< baseurl >}}/rke/v0.1.x/en/config-options/nodes/#ssh-user) due to [Bugzilla 1527565](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527565). If you are using the Docker package supplied by RedHat / CentOS, the `dockerroot` group is automatically added to the system. You will need to edit (or create) `/etc/docker/daemon.json` to include the following:
```
{
"group": "dockerroot"
}
```
Restart Docker after editing or creating the file. After restarting Docker, you can check the group permission of the Docker socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`), which should show `dockerroot` as group:
```
srw-rw----. 1 root dockerroot 0 Jul 4 09:57 /var/run/docker.sock
```
Add the SSH user you want to use to this group, this can't be the `root` user.
```
usermod -aG dockerroot <user_name>
```
To verify that the user is correctly configured, log out of the node and login with your SSH user, and execute `docker ps`:
```
ssh <user_name>@node
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
```

- Docker - Each Kubernetes version supports different Docker versions.
