Configuring Root Access for SSH

/ July 6, 2018 — Network Services

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]#

Grab Putty or a Putty alternative and get connected with the new password!
