What's Up?

OK, Basically is it possible to disable root login via terminal? So you couldn't use "sudo rm /file.file" any more?

Thanks Bye?

For linux? I think you can add root user to the nologin for ssh.conf. For FreeBSD it's default you can't SSH directly as root. You have to be a user in wheel group and su into root.

And for the sudo command you should have options on what can and can't be run. Heck do you even need sudo? I don't use it on my servers.

@ Omni it comes in handy if you F'up your password. Not that i've done that..

Why do you want to do this in the first place.
