"Prevent Users from Logging in as Root Directly Administrator users must never log in directly as root. To assure individual accountability and prevent unauthorized access, logging in as root over a remote connection must be disabled. Administrators should only run commands as root after first authenticating with their individual user names and passwords."


Parameter:

[no/yes]


Technical Mechanism:

Fix:In order to make sure that PermitRootLogin is disabled by sshd, run the following command: sudo sed -i.bak 's/^[#]*PermitRootLogin.*/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/sshd_config
