I would recommend that you disable root login on that server via ssh. Setup a regular user account and use that to ssh to the server. Then once you have your CLI as that user use the su - command (note the - on that command) to change to root. This will improve the security on that server since no one can log in remotely as root. They would need access to another users account. And you get log files indicating which user account switched to root on that box. -- Scot L.
