In the sshd_config file set the PermitRootLogin option to NO.

# grep PermitRoot sshd_config
PermitRootLogin no

On my server this file is in /etc/opt/ssh. It may be different on your server depending on the version of ssh you have installed.

Hi,

You can put the below entry in sshd_config file.

PermitRootLogin no

If you want to define the root login terminals then use /etc/securetty file

Hi,

Forgot to mention. If it is HP ported SSH the location of sshd_config would be

/opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config
