Configuring Root Access for SSH




Most systems these days disable root access for good reasons. To change this setting, look in: 

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Of course, your location may be different. To enable root access change this line: 

 
PermitRootLogin yes

To disable root access change this line: 

PermitRootLogin no

For the changes to take effect, restart sshd: 

[root@srv-1 ssh]# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Stopping sshd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting sshd:                                             [  OK  ]
[root@srv-1 ssh]#
