[Discuss] PSA: no root login for SSH



Not to mention /users/  that are hard to protect.

Rich, stop laughing!

I've got users who (I can't prevent) that still type root passwords and
think sudo is BFM

I've got one that every 30secs launches a script that logs in, checks a dir
for files then closes. Using his unprotected key.

Rich, I can hear you laughing!
