yeah, it worked to set my security level to high, although I may put it back
to higher, if it will allow me to ssh in as regular user at the higher
setting. That's all I allow into my system at this point, anyway, so if it
keeps root from directly logging into my system remotely, but lets my regular
user(s) in, that's fine by me.
