I have one box with Redhat Enterprise Linux 3, I can login with regular users then su to root, but I can't login directly with root via ssh.
I check /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
#PermitRootLogin no
And /etc/securetty:
vc/1
vc/2
vc/3
vc/4
vc/5
vc/6
vc/7
vc/8
vc/9
vc/10
vc/11
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
tty9
tty10
tty11
Any other thing I have to do ?
Thanks !
( I know that it's not recommended, but I would like to know how I can make it work, thanks !)
