hi,

you could use GSP/MP console to acces the system, and them you could enable it again.

Hi Michal,

I think its confusing :) my requirement is I want to keep root login permanenatly disable state and want to login through other admin user which have UID0 for normal operation.

[Michal Kapalka (mikap)]

ok so if you have a regular normal user, they can logoon to the server,

use su - or install sudo and manage the server with him.

Thanks Michel,Both suggestions are working fine, but I don't want to enable SUDO..because of some security reason ..is it any other way is there which can help us.

[Michal Kapalka (mikap)]

i think only the su - is the last one.

or maybe some restricted user or shell.

Thanks to all issue has been resolved.

Edit /opt/ssh/etc/ sshd_config file and give following entries.

#PermitRootLogin Yes
AllowUsers paradmin, uxgsmc etcâ ¦
DenyUsers root

Restart the sshd daemon
# /sbin/init.d/secsh stop

# /sbin/init.d/secsh start
