Hi Ed,
If you've already set up hostbased authentication (as per
your previous emails), and you are using ssh2 from ssh.com,
you can set PermitRootLogin to nopwd. This means that root
is only allowed to login using a method other than password,
such as hostbased, publickey, SecurID, pam, Kerberos, etc.
Hope this helps.
