I am newish to linux/asterisk, and I am running an ssh server. It is still 
running with default settings, (I dont know yet how/where to change it), and I 
CAN logon remotely as root.
(Haven't figured out how to 'su' yet !)

This is using the Rapid Xorcomm v 1.0 cd, which I believe (may be wrong) is 
based on a very recent version of Debian ?
Perhaps xorcom have changed the default setting ?


Hey Clive. I thought it was mentioned earlier before in the thread,
but if not, all you need to do is edit your sshd_config file. In
Debian, this is located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but it could be
different for other distros. Open that up in a text editor and then
locate the line that says PermitRootLogin yes, and change that to
PermitRootLogin no. Save it, and then restart SSH. On Debian, you type
in /etc/init.d/ssh restart, but on other distros it might be
different. Note that you'll have to be root to edit that file and
restart that service.

Thanks for that. I did not see it before, and I was afraid to ask in case I got jumped on again !

Thanks again
