ssh still allowing root login (solved)

I installed the latest version of Gentoo on a spare box here at the office, and emerge'd the latest version of ssh. I edited the config file with the "PermitRootLogin no" option, but it's still allowing root to login remotely. Anyone have any ideas?

    Restart the ssh service? I'm not sure how you do it on Gentoo. On most SysV-init-based systems it would be:

    /etc/init.d/sshd -restart

    Coming at this with no specific knowledge of anything here, but did you restart the sshd daemon to read the altered config file?

    EDIT: Snap!

    Yup. Reloaded and restarted. Can still log in as root.

    Exact same setup as some of my other boxes (which work fine). This one is throwing me for a loop. :x

    Only thing I can think of is that it's either not reading the config file or I'm editing the wrong file. I've edited both /etc/ssh/ssh_config and sshd_config to no avail.

    Looks like a reboot fixed my problem. Not sure why, though.

    Strange...


    Consider this one solved. Lock away.
