1. Enable root access for your user
FreeBSD won’t let regular users root access using su. If you try, you’ll have the following message :
|
1 2 |
$ su root su: Sorry |
To allow root access for a specific user, you need to add him to the “wheel” group :
|
1 |
$ pw groupmod wheel -m mySpecificUser |
2. Disable SSH root login
Edit the SSH daemon configuration :
|
1 |
root@****:~ # vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
And change the following line :
|
1 |
PermitRootLogin yes |
Restart the service :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
root@****:/usr/home/ron # service sshd restart Performing sanity check on sshd configuration. Stopping sshd. Waiting for PIDS: 4342. Performing sanity check on sshd configuration. Starting sshd. |
