 | View Full Version : Disabling Root Logon RackMy.com 02-26-2002, 08:49 AM There is a configuration; PermitRootLogin which I think is located /usr/local/etc/sshd_config sbrad 02-26-2002, 11:16 AM Cool. Thanks. Do I have to restart anything after I change that to no? allan 02-26-2002, 11:39 AM Originally posted by sbrad Cool. Thanks. Do I have to restart anything after I change that to no? For open SSH (RPM version) the sshd config file is: /etc/ssh/sshd_config After you have made changes: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart Should take care of it for you.

Best bet: [allan@ns1 allan]$ locate ssh_config DigitalXWeb 02-26-2002, 01:17 PM Originally posted by RackMy.com No bad for a Windows guys, might I dare to say :) I'm impressed Mike.. Of course I also think you're in denial with *NIX systems ;) j/k clocker1996 02-26-2002, 02:08 PM Originally posted by uuallan For open SSH (RPM version) the sshd config file is: /etc/ssh/sshd_config After you have made changes: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart Should take care of it for you. redhat rpm ssh doesnt run through xinetd clocker1996 02-26-2002, 02:10 PM run find / -name sshd_config pico path/to/sshd_config edit the permitrootlogin line then once youare done run : /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart |
