Hi , I have always believed that ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" in /etc/rc.config prevents root from logging in remotely. But a simple: C:\>ssh -l root 192.168.101.99 Password: Last login: Wed Mar 7 15:41:22 2001 from 192.168.101.237 Have a lot of fun... mojox:~ # Tells me that something weird is going on here. Are there any other places I need to check for apart from the two mentioned below? /etc/rc.config: # If you want to allow root logins from other machines, set ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE # to "yes". # ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Port 22 #Protocol 2,1 ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 #ListenAddress :: HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ServerKeyBits 768 LoginGraceTime 600 KeyRegenerationInterval 3600 PermitRootLogin no # Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Otto OgilvyInteractive | Floor 2, Canberra House 315 - 317 Regent Street | London W1B 2HS Reception +44 207 299 3434 | Fax +44 207 631 5050 http://www.ogilvy.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-linux-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-linux-help@suse.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-security-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-security-help@suse.com
