The root user should never be allowed to login to Asystem directly over a network. To disable root login via SSH, add or correct the following line in '/etc/ssh/sshd_config': 'PermitRootLogin no'


Parameter:

[no/yes]


Technical Mechanism:

Permitting direct root login reduces auditable information about who ran privileged commands on the system and also allows direct attack attempts on root's password.
