    Hi Admins,

    I have disabled direct remote root login by modifying sshd_config file.Changed PermitRootLogin to NO. And stopped the sshd service using stopsrc -s sshd.But not able to start. sshd will become inoperative state.

    If i revoke the change i made to sshd_config, sshd will start again without problem.

    I think i modified the file with wrong format.

    Please let me know your views.

    Regards
    Pavan

    Try running sshd -t before you restart the sshd daemon, as this will test for configuration errors in the sshd_config file.

    Also try: startsrc -g ssh

    It's annoyingly case sensitive.
