Disable root access via SSH
Authored by: marcherman on Jun 10, '03 02:15:40AM

allow me to clarify that the deny root login option just blocks someone from logging in as the root user. it does NOT block access to the root as such for any authorised user with access to whatever homedirectory.
having said, i would greatly appreciate any help to help understand what (system)directories one is able to block using the system of accessprivileges.
in my experience with the application directory e.g. denying read access to 'everyone' confuses the system when restarting and causes it to hang during the login procedure.
weird stuff.
