I tried changing my liste port to 27 (& firewall to match) & broke my setup - could not log in... Got home, fixed one at a time, & could not get back in until I changed both back to 22... Still trying to figure that out..

It doesn't need to stop there. Does RedHat use suauth? (I am a Slackware
user).
If you edit (or create) /etc/suauth and add:
root:ALL EXCEPT GROUP wheel:DENY
Only users of the wheel group will be able to su. Like how FreeBSD is
setup.
I actually just locked myself out by adding this (woops :)

No, it does not. The thinking is to make it harder for somebody to
figure out a username and password for SSH login and then trying to
figure out a password to su - to root. Since it takes more time to
figure out usernames and passwords than just passwords, you are more
likely to discover the break in attempt.
