Did you remove the # in front of the line?

You still have it in your example.

Subject: Re: Change from Root

What I was interested in doing was to make it impossible for root to login directly, but rather enable other users to login and then su to root. So I edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config to read:
#PermitRootLogin no
(It was the dir I didn't know.) It initially said "yes", but it was and is commented. How is it that I then and still can login directly as root? Is reboot necessary?
TIA,
V

VPS stands for virtual private server.
