attack 2

[bruce]

you don't want the line to be commented...

you want to have the line 

PermitRootLogin no   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

no comments...

this tells the ssh daemon to never allow the root user to login via ssh...

-regards

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
line is already commented out:

#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?
