Disable direct ssh root login in Solaris 10

1.    Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config with your favorite text editor.

[root@root ~]# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Change this line:

#PermitRootLogin yes

Edit to this:

PermitRootLogin no

2.     Ensure that you are logged into the box with another shell before restarting sshd to avoid locking yourself out of the server.

[root@root ~]# /etc/init.d/sshd restart

Stopping sshd: [ OK ]

Starting sshd: [ OK ]

[root@root ~]#
