Hello SuSE people,
I keep getting messages everyday from rkhunter about possible root login because SSH V1 is running.
I shouldn't need SSH because this is a stand-alone PC, right? So how do I disable it? Found something in the Yast /etc/Sysconfig editor but have no idea what the option should be
Running 10.2 64 bit.

Shutting down sshd is not wise. There are many times where I have had to ssh into a "stand alone" machine.
You should look into /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the line that says Protocol 1,2 to just Protocol 2
However, running any modern version of ssh version 1 does not expose one to root logins as all known bugs have been patched.
Seriously, rkhunter raises so many red herrings as to be useless in my opinion.
