Securing SSH

Securing SSH
In the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file change the following lines (if it is commented out remove the #):
Protocol 2
PermitRootLogin no
PermitEmptyPasswords no
Save the file and type “service sshd restart”. SSH will restart, enacting these changes. (You will need to SSH into the box with the user account you created from this point on, as root will no longer be accepted. Just “su –“ to the root account)
–
Enjoy
