disabling root access from ssh login

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi.

new to linux. i want to disable direct root login/access to my linux (rh8.0)
box. i want to have the user have to login as user foo, and then have to su
to root.

is there an easy/quick way to do this?

i tried the following with no luck:

vi to /etc/ssh/ssh_config and added the line:

PermitRootLogin no

i then restarted with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

i can still login as root...

thanks...
