Disable 'root' login to SSH
As a good security practice, you want to disable the ability to SSH directly to your server as 'root'.
To do this:
1. Edit
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
2. Make sure the following parameter is set as follows:
PermitRootLogin no
3. Restart SSH as follows:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
