It should be in your /etc/sshd_config PermitRootLogin no
This is good stuff Yes!! We learn something every day don't we... I just did this and was still able to log in as root. Obviously I've got to restart sshd somehow.. what is the command to do this and...
What are some of the other changes we should make to the sshd_config file to make it safer.
I know the obvious best thing to do is to change to key login and disable password logging, correct? Although, I've been told if I do this, I'd better make sure I have that key with me if I ever expect to log in via a different machine. I don't think I'd ever have to log in via any other machine than my desktop or laptop but having the key on a floppy might be a good idea should I manage to set do a keygen successfully and make it work.
I had my old RaQ3 set this way but someone helped me to get the keygen file setup. When I tried this on my own, I managed to pork it and the key login did not work.. luckily, I did not disable password logging.
I like the idea and admit my ignorance on the root logging however and want to set this up immediatly!
I remember reading something here that no matter if you had upgraded to the latest ssh, (I have) that there was something needing to be set in config that disabled legacy connections via earlier versions.. is this correct? If so, what needs changing to get this dialed..
