Hmm ...

I went to disable mine, I am behind a firewall but I am trying to learn
how to make my system more secure, and I think that my sshd_config the

#PermitRootLogin yes

I just did a fresh install a few days ago and I know I have not changed
it. Maybe there was a security update that fixed this issue?
