Limiting Root Access to the Console on Digi CM Products Limiting Root Access to the Console on Digi CM Products

This prevents root access from any means except physically logging in on the Digi CM console.

Modify '/etc/inetd.conf' and append -f /usr2/sshd_config to the sshd line.

cp /etc/inetd.conf /usr2/inetd.conf

Edit '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'. Change "PermitRootLogin" to no.

cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /usr2

Add the following commands in the '/usr2/rc.user' script. Add these commands just above "exit 0":

cp -a /usr2/inetd.conf /etc/inetd.conf
while killall inetd 2>/dev/null;
do sleep 5;
done
/usr/sbin/inetd

reboot

**NOTE: If you factory default the unit, the '/usr2/rc.user' script file is moved to '/usr2/rc.user.old#' and the default rc.user file will be restored.
