Resolved Almalinux 9 and ssh

[OverWolf]

Hi,

I've configured an Almalinunx 9.2 with Plesk 18.0.52, and I have a problem with ssh; I don't know why but despite I have changed some parameters in sshd_config (like PermitRootLogin no), I can access as root even if I have restarted services and restarted server (not necessary but I have tried it anyway); it seems that I haven't modify nothing.

Someone have some suggestions to resolve this problem ?

Thank you

Do you possibly have multiple PermitRootLogin entries in the file?

Hi MarkM
ni, it's not possible because it's a new (fresh) server. Anyway I have checked it, and it's not present other entries of PermitRootLogin.

I have modify other parameter (like MaxAuthTries, MaxSessions, etc.) and seems that isn't read at all.

Hi,
I've found the 'problem'; it was a configuration file in sshd_config.d
