I was surprised to find that I can log in as root via ssh from myWindows machine to my FC5 box.


I've always used ssh to log in as a user then 'su -' ....

I don't see anything in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to prevent that, or enableit for that matter?

What do I need to change so root can't be logged in via ssh? Or is itletting me because it recognizes a key?


Thanks,
Don
