Disable root login by telnet or ssh

[nmendez]

Hi, i need to disable the root login by telnet or ssh, not changin configuration of telnet or sshd. Is there any file in hpux that let me do that ?

I only want root to login by a console.

Thanks in advance.

echo console > /etc/securety

then uncomment and edit sshd_config and change the line

#PermitRootLogin yes

to

PermitRootLogin no

and restart sshd.

And there is also the option in sshd_config:

EnforceSecureTTY

Hi:

Create '/etc/securetty' and place the word "console" on a line within. This will allow root-login to occur only at the console.

For 'ssh' connections, edit '/etc/ssh/sshd_config' and define 'PermitRootlogin No'.

Regards!
