SSH error

[Anthony khan]

Hi Everyone,

I disable root for ssh so I add PermitRootLogin No in ssdh_config file but now I am getting the following error:

fatal: /usr/local/etc/sshd_config line 94: Bad yes/without-password/forced-commands-only/no argument: No

Is there any thing missing in order to disable root.

Hi,

Can you show us the entire configuration file (with IP addresses and usernames sanitized)?

'PermitRootLogin specifies whether the root can log in using ssh2. May be set to
"yes", "nopwd", or "no".'

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

Seems like you are using a different SSH distribution from mine.

The list of acceptable parameters are listed in the error message:

yes/without-password/forced-commands-only/no argument

Double-check that there are no extra characters on the line other than "no" after PermitRootLogin. Also giving it a shot, try "no" (in small letters).

Hope this helps. Regards.
