1. Make sure you add your admin user to the 'wheel' group
2. Copy and paste this line to edit the file for SSH logins
pico -w /etc/ssh/sshd_config
3. Find the line
Protocol 2, 1
4. Uncomment it and change it to look like
Protocol 2
5. Next, find the line
PermitRootLogin yes
6. Uncomment it and make it look like PermitRootLogin no
7. Save the file Ctrl+X then Y then enter
8. Now you can restart SSH
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart
Now, no one will be able to login to root with out first
loggin in as admin and 'su -' to root, and you will be
forcing the use of a more secure protocol. Just make sure
you remember both passwords!
