Root<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>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:<BR>#PermitRootLogin no<BR>(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?<BR>TIA,<BR>V<BR><BR>
