In some mail from Joe Shamblin, sie said:
How about just uncommenting the following from /etc/default/login # If CONSOLE is set, root can only login on that device. # Comment this line out to allow remote login by root. # CONSOLE=/dev/console Not a fix to be sure, but at least prevents a remote login.
This only controls access to the account known as root. I'll wager that there are other accounts you could use this to get access to (that you shouldn't be able to) which could lead to various sorts of security issues. Darren
