Hello, ok i want to prevent root access via ssh over network, thing is i need to have

Code:

PermitRootLogin without-password

so need to find another method, i did find a guide that said

Code:

Edit /etc/securetty

comment out everything except for the lines

    * console
    * tty1
    * v/tty1

thing is this file is not on my freeebsd 6.3 ?
