Direct Loggin Using Root SSH

[mrbernsca]

I was reading through the forums trying to find how to do the following:

Disable using direct login with the root account to AIX 5.X server. I have changed the user settings to rlogin and remote login to false but it still works.

Any ideas?

Thx.

SSH uses files in /etc/ssh. The one that you're looking for is: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Find the following line:
PermitRootLogin yes

and change to
PermitRootLogin no

You'll need to refresh the /usr/sbin/sshd process to enable the change.

or /usr/local/etc/sshd_config if you compile from open source and take the default options.

Thx, I did that originally but I forgot to stop and start the subsystem.

Thx.
