I have searched all over this site for some indication of how to do this, and yes i have read the man pages to the best of my ability.
I want to disable root access to ssh.
(PermitRootLogin no) in the ssh_config file located in the etc/ssh dir.
When I kill all sshd processes and restart with the -f switch it works, and root cannot logon. but when ssh starts up as a startup process root CAN logon.
HELP!!!!!
