Securing SSH
- In order to secure SSH from the root user, I first connected to dchp01 as an administrative user. Then, I used the nano text editor to edit a file under the path of /etc/ssh/sshd_config. In this ssh configuration file, we change the line of code "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no". This blocks the root user from SSH access to the computer.
