- At your terminal, 'su -' to your root account
- 'pico -w /etc/sshd_config'
- Look for the line containing "PermitRootLogin yes"
- Simply change this line to read "PermitRootLogin no"
- Save your changes and exit the editor
- Open your "System Preferences" from the Dock, and choose "Sharing"
- If the check box beside remote access is not selected, turn it on if you wish for SSH access to be enabled. If it is already selected, then just cycle it. Click it off, then back on.
...unless of course you want to allow someone one step closer to controlling your machine remotely. ;)
