alittle confused about my root access as well as other security advisor warnings.

So im setting up my VPS, my first time ever.


1. i just spent all this time setting up putty and doing private keys and learning how to do all that including editing files and such via command line.

And now the security advisor tells me i should change

Code:

#PermitRootLogin yes
to no to cut off ssh root login.

that dont make sense to me unless i can get a command line from inside WHM but still i just did all this and now i have to shut it down so i cant even get in to root ssh.

or am i misunderstanding this, the root is in the wheel, is that the difference, i can still get in ssh right?


also do i need to uncomment that line

Code:

PermitRootLogin no      <like that>

2. Apache vhosts are not segmented or chroot()ed.
Enable “Jail Apache” in the “Tweak Settings” area

the problem is when i go there it is subdued and i cant click on anything for jail apache, it wont let me, its like the config is disabled.

3. suEXEC is disabled.

but when i go to the link it says:

Quote:

* The suEXEC feature is disabled due to Apache MPM Itk
so im guessing i should just ignore that one.


thanks
