For security reasons, we might need to disable the 'root' user SSH login for the Linux system. This can be easily done by editing the sshd_config file as the 'root' user.
First, open up the file in any text editor:
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Next, find the following line:
#PermitRootLogin no
The line is currently commented. Uncomment it, and that's all you need to do. Save the file, and restart the ssh service.
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
