$ vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# Globally disables all root logins over SSH PermitRootLogin no ... # Match block for Viewpoint IP's - This should be at the very end of # the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file # Permits public key authentication as root only for the ip addresses # referenced above Match Address 10.25.112.27,10.25.112.194 PermitRootLogin without-password
