Set PermitRootLogin to no in /etc/ssh/sshd_config if you need root, log in as you and su. This way an attacker has to guess a login and a password, instead of guessing just a password for root (which almost always exists). _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
