Right change, wrong file. You need to make this change in the "sshd_config" file (as opposed to "ssh_config") Actually, the stub shoud PermitRootLogin should already be in the file, so you can just uncomment the line and change the "yes" at the end to "no" and restart sshd. "ssh_config" is utilized to configure client ssh usage. - jkt -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
