Re: Root user

Modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and change 'PermitRootLogin' to be 'no'.
One long-haired git at your service...

Re: Root user

If you'r already there , I'd recommend , disabling protocol 1 (to many bugs) , and enabling public key authentication , disable X forwarding , and enable sftp (for secure file trnsfers - helps a lot).

:)
